Notes
rejoice: The Lord would no longer be angry at his people for worshiping idols or feel grief for punishing them for breaking the old covenant. He would not uproot them anymore (Jeremiah 1:10); instead, he would find joy in replanting them.
The Lord assured that the destruction of Jerusalem would not stop his plans. After the immediate disaster, he planned salvation and restoration for his people.
The Lord answered Jeremiah's concern (Jeremiah 32:25) with several affirmations. The Lord had chosen his plan, set future events, and real doom threatened Jerusalem.
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.
