Jeremiah 30
1. God shows Jeremiah the return of the Jews.
4. After their trouble they shall have deliverance.
10. He comforts Jacob.
18. Their return shall be gracious.
23. Wrath shall fall on the wicked.














There is no one
The phrase "There is no one" underscores the utter isolation and abandonment faced by the people of Israel due to their persistent disobedience and sin. In the Hebrew text, the word used here is "אֵין" (ein), which conveys a sense of absolute negation. This highlights the severity of their situation, as they have turned away from God, and consequently, there is no human advocate or intercessor to stand in the gap for them. This reflects the broader biblical theme that without God, humanity is truly alone and without hope.

to plead your cause
The Hebrew word for "plead" is "רִיב" (riv), which means to contend or argue a case. In ancient Israel, a legal advocate or intercessor would plead on behalf of someone in distress. This phrase indicates that Israel has no one to intercede for them, emphasizing their spiritual and moral bankruptcy. In a broader theological context, it points to the need for a divine advocate, which Christians find fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who intercedes on behalf of believers.

no remedy for your sores
The term "remedy" in Hebrew is "תְּרוּפָה" (terufah), which refers to healing or a cure. The imagery of "sores" suggests deep, festering wounds, symbolizing the spiritual and moral decay of the nation. Historically, this reflects the period of the Babylonian exile, where the people of Israel faced the consequences of their rebellion against God. The absence of a remedy signifies the depth of their affliction and the futility of seeking healing apart from divine intervention.

no recovery for you
The word "recovery" in Hebrew is "עֲלוּת" (alut), which implies restoration or healing. This phrase conveys the hopelessness of Israel's condition without divine intervention. It serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of sin and the inability of human efforts to achieve true restoration. From a Christian perspective, this underscores the necessity of God's grace and the redemptive work of Christ, who offers ultimate recovery and restoration to those who turn to Him in faith.

(13) There is none to plead thy cause . . .--The words bring before us two images of extremest misery--the criminal who, standing before the dread judgment-seat, has no advocate, the plague-stricken sufferer who has no physician. The word is that used of Josiah in Jeremiah 22:16. There, and commonly elsewhere, it is translated "judge." The second part of the sentence is better rendered, with a different punctuation, by Thou hast no healing medicines for binding up. It continues the symbolism of Jeremiah 30:12, and reproduces that of Isaiah 1:6. There, and in Isaiah 38:21, Hosea 5:13, and probably in Proverbs 3:8, we have indications of the prominence given to external applications such as plasters, bandages, and the like, in the Eastern treatment of disease. . . .
