Contextual Overview

1 The Lord spoke to Jeremiah. 2 "The Lord God of Israel says, ‘Write everything that I am about to tell you in a scroll. 3 For I, the Lord , affirm that the time will come when I will reverse the plight of my people, Israel and Judah,' says the Lord . ‘I will bring them back to the land I gave their ancestors and they will take possession of it once again.'" 4 So here is what the Lord has to say about Israel and Judah. 5 Yes, here is what he says: "You hear cries of panic and of terror; there is no peace in sight. 6 Ask yourselves this and consider it carefully: Have you ever seen a man give birth to a baby? Why then do I see all these strong men grabbing their stomachs in pain like a woman giving birth? And why do their faces turn so deathly pale? 7 Alas, what a terrible time of trouble it is! There has never been any like it. It is a time of trouble for the descendants of Jacob, but some of them will be rescued out of it. 8 When the time for them to be rescued comes," says the Lord who rules over all, "I will rescue you from foreign subjugation. I will deliver you from captivity. Foreigners will then no longer subjugate them. 9 But they will be subject to the Lord their God and to the Davidic ruler whom I will raise up as king over them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel,.... Who is their covenant God; has not forgotten them; still has a regard for them; and speaks after the following comfortable manner concerning them:

saying, write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book; being things of consequence, that they might remain to after ages; and be read to the use, comfort, and edification of the Lord's people, in times to come; and be a support to their faith and hope, as well as be a testimony of the truth and faithfulness of God. Some think this charge refers to all the prophecies that go before, as well as follow after, to put them all together in a book or roll, that they might be preserved; though others think it refers only to the present prophecy; and so Kimchi interprets it, write all the words "that I am now speaking unto thee" o in a book; which should come to pass in the latter day. So John is bid to write in a book what he saw; the things that are, and shall be hereafter, Revelation 1:11.

o אשר דברתי אליך "quibus alloquor te", Junius Tremellius "quae locutus fuero ad te", Piscator.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Write ... in a book - To be read and meditated upon by them in private. This makes it exceedingly probable that the date of these two chapters was also the 10th year of Zedekiah, immediately after the purchase of the field from Hanameel.

All the words - i. e., the scroll was to be a summary of whatever of hope and mercy had been contained in previous predictions.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 30:2. Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. — The book here recommended I believe to be the thirtieth and thirty-first chapters; for among the Hebrews any portion of writing, in which the subject was finished, however small, was termed ספר sepher, a BOOK, a treatise or discourse.
