Notes

The rebuilt Jerusalem would be the heart of a strong and thriving nation. Its increasing population would feel joy and sing songs of thanks. The city would earn respect from its neighbors, and its streets would be full of children who would grow up and succeed. The nation would have its own leader again.

This series of messages is mostly positive, with only two verses having a judgmental tone (Jeremiah 30:23–24). They describe the positive outcomes of Jerusalem's destruction and the Exile.

People often call these four chapters "The Book of Consolation," a highlight in Old Testament revelation. Unlike the many judgment messages Jeremiah gave his people, these messages are full of hope and promise a wonderful future restoration.
