The Pulpit Commentary on Jeremiah 30:2

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Write thee all the words … in a book. The form of expression leaves it doubtful whether a summary of all Jeremiah's previous discourses is intended, or merely of the promises concerning Israel and Judah which he had just received.

There are, no doubt, numerous allusions to preceding chapters, but verse 5 seems rather to favour the latter view. The word rendered "book" will equally suit a short discourse like the present (comp.

Jeremiah 51:60) and a large collection of prophecies as in Jeremiah 36:2. Observe, the discourse was to be written down at once, without having been delivered orally; it was to be laid up as a pledge that God would interpose for his people (comp.

Isaiah 30:8; Habakkuk 2:2, Habakkuk 2:3).
