Contextual Overview

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words which I have spoken to you. 3 For the days are coming,' says the Lord, ‘when I will bring back My people Israel and Judah from where they are held.' The Lord says, ‘I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their fathers before them, and it will be theirs.'" 4 These are the words which the Lord spoke about Israel and Judah: 5 "The Lord says, ‘I have heard cries of much trouble, of being afraid, and there is no peace. 6 Ask now and see, can a man give birth to a child? Why do I see every man with his hands on his body like a woman giving birth? Why have all faces turned white? 7 That day will be very bad! There is none like it. It is the time of Jacob's trouble, but he will be saved out of it. 8 On that day,' says the Lord of All, ‘I will break the cross-bar off from their neck, and will tear off their chains. Strangers will no longer make them their servants. 9 But they will serve the Lord their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for 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.
