Notes

Jeremiah 31:13

The Lord would replace mourning, a daily experience in exile, with his comfort and constant joy (see Isaiah 40:1–3; 61:3).

Jeremiah 30:1–33:26

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.
