Jeremiah — Capítulo 30

When God called Jeremiah to warn the kingdom of Judah of its impending destruction, the kingdom was relatively prosperous, free, and secure. But Judah’s fortunes dramatically changed as Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon asserted his power in the region. Judah suffered under his heavy hand for twenty years before he destroyed the city of Jerusalem and exiled its citizens to Babylon. Throughout these …

1Palabra de Jehová que vino a Jeremías, diciendo:

2Así habló Jehová Dios de Israel, diciendo: Escríbete en un libro todas las palabras que te he hablado.

3Porque he aquí que vienen días, dice Jehová, en que haré volver a los cautivos de mi pueblo Israel y Judá, ha dicho Jehová, y los traeré a la tierra que di a sus padres, y la disfrutarán.

4Estas, pues, son las palabras que habló Jehová acerca de Israel y de Judá.

5Porque así ha dicho Jehová: Hemos oído voz de temblor; de espanto, y no de paz.

6Inquirid ahora, y mirad si el varón da a luz; porque he visto que todo hombre tenía las manos sobre sus lomos, como mujer que está de parto, y se han vuelto pálidos todos los rostros.

7¡Ah, cuán grande es aquel día!, tanto, que no hay otro semejante a él; tiempo de angustia para Jacob; pero de ella será librado.

8En aquel día, dice Jehová de los ejércitos, yo quebraré su yugo de tu cuello, y romperé tus coyundas, y extranjeros no lo volverán más a poner en servidumbre,

9sino que servirán a Jehová su Dios y a David su rey, a quien yo les levantaré.

10Tú, pues, siervo mío Jacob, no temas, dice Jehová, ni te atemorices, Israel; porque he aquí que yo soy el que te salvo de lejos a ti y a tu descendencia de la tierra de cautividad; y Jacob volverá, descansará y vivirá tranquilo, y no habrá quien le espante.

11Porque yo estoy contigo para salvarte, dice Jehová, y destruiré a todas las naciones entre las cuales te esparcí; pero a ti no te destruiré, sino que te castigaré con justicia; de ninguna manera te dejaré sin castigo.

12Porque así ha dicho Jehová: Incurable es tu quebrantamiento, y dolorosa tu llaga.

13No hay quien juzgue tu causa para sanarte; no hay para ti medicamentos eficaces.

14Todos tus enamorados te olvidaron; no te buscan; porque como hiere un enemigo te herí, con azote de adversario cruel, a causa de la magnitud de tu maldad y de la multitud de tus pecados.

15¿Por qué gritas a causa de tu quebrantamiento? Incurable es tu dolor, porque por la grandeza de tu iniquidad y por tus muchos pecados te he hecho esto.

16Pero serán consumidos todos los que te consumen; y todos tus adversarios, todos irán en cautiverio; hollados serán los que te hollaron, y a todos los que hicieron presa de ti daré en presa.

17Mas yo haré venir sanidad para ti, y sanaré tus heridas, dice Jehová; porque desechada te llamaron, diciendo: Esta es Sion, de la que nadie se acuerda.

18Así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí yo hago volver los cautivos de las tiendas de Jacob, y de sus tiendas tendré misericordia, y la ciudad será edificada sobre su colina, y el templo será asentado según su forma.

19Y saldrá de ellos acción de gracias, y voz de nación que está en regocijo, y los multiplicaré, y no serán disminuidos; los multiplicaré, y no serán menoscabados.

20Y serán sus hijos como antes, y su congregación delante de mí será confirmada; y castigaré a todos sus opresores.

21De ella saldrá su príncipe, y de en medio de ella saldrá su señoreador; y le haré llegar cerca, y él se acercará a mí; porque ¿quién es aquel que se atreve a acercarse a mí? dice Jehová.

22Y me seréis por pueblo, y yo seré vuestro Dios.

23He aquí, la tempestad de Jehová sale con furor; la tempestad que se prepara, sobre la cabeza de los impíos reposará.

24No se calmará el ardor de la ira de Jehová, hasta que haya hecho y cumplido los pensamientos de su corazón; en el fin de los días entenderéis esto.

30:1–33:26 These four chapters are often called “The Book of Consolation,” a high point in Old Testament revelation. In contrast to the many messages of judgment that Jeremiah delivered to his people, these messages are filled with hope and point to a marvelous future restoration. 30:1-24 This series of messages is mainly positive, with only two verses carrying a tone of judgment (30:23-24). They speak of the beneficial effects of the destruction of Jerusalem and of the Exile.

30:3 The new messages expand on the theme of 29:10-14 (see 3:18; 16:15; 24:6). The fall of Jerusalem and the Exile did not mark the end of the Lord’s relationship with Israel. The Lord had a wonderful future for the remnant of his people. Descendants of people from the northern kingdom of Israel who were taken into exile by the Assyrians in 722 BC would be restored. Likewise, descendants of the people of Judah who were taken into Babylonian exile in 597 and 586 BC would return to the Promised Land. • I will bring them home: The first major return from exile occurred in 538 BC (Ezra 1:1–6:22), the second in 458 BC (Ezra 7:1–10:44), and the third in 445 BC (Neh 1–13).

30:8 Although the return of the exiles began in 538 BC, foreigners were still their masters for most of Israel’s history from the Exile through the Roman period. However, Israel experienced a measure of freedom during that time.

30:9 After the Exile, the Israelites cast aside their persistent worship of idols and truly served the Lord their God. • The Lord would provide a king, also a descendant of David, who would be called the Messiah (Isa 55:3-4; Ezek 34:23; 37:24; Hos 3:5; Luke 1:69; Acts 2:30; 13:22-23).

30:10 The gathering of exiles would include those held in Babylon and also those who were scattered in distant lands. The Lord’s promised gifts would include peace and quiet without fearsome enemies.

30:11 The Lord could make these promises because he was with his people and had the power to save them. He promised to destroy vicious nations and preserve his people. Still, the Lord would discipline his people if they sinned.

30:12-14 The exiles suffered injury—a terrible wound—because of their many sins. • lovers . . . allies: The Lord used these terms to refer to nations, especially Egypt, that had been Judah’s trusted friends (see 4:30; Ezek 16:15-63).

Versículo 15

30:15 The Israelites had no right to protest their punishment; they deserved their exile, and God’s justice demanded that they be punished.

Versículo 16

30:16 all who devour you will be devoured: See 25:11-12.

30:17 I will . . . heal your wounds: The people would return from exile and their sins would be removed.

30:18 The walls of Jerusalem were rebuilt in 445 BC under Nehemiah’s leadership (Neh 12:22-43).

30:19-21 The rebuilt Jerusalem would be the center of a healthy and growing nation. Its growing population would experience joy and sing songs of thanksgiving. The city would be honored by its neighbors, and its streets would be filled with children who would grow up and prosper. The nation would have its own ruler again.

30:22 The Lord wanted to establish a nation whose people were totally committed to worshiping him as the one true God (Exod 6:7; Ezek 36:38).

30:23 The reestablished nation was still held accountable for rebellion. The Lord reserved the authority to express his stormy anger against the wicked.

30:24 Punishment remained an important aspect of what the Lord had planned. The Israelites, including Jeremiah, found it difficult to reconcile divine promises with divine anger. Looking back on events at a later time would help the people to understand this paradox.
