Notes

Jeremiah 31:39

Gareb and Goah are not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, but they were likely on the city's west side.

Jeremiah 31:15–40

The Lord explained his future plan to rebuild a new nation from people who had suffered greatly during their long captivity.

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.
