The word "restore" (אֲשִׁיב) implies a return to a former state, suggesting a divine intervention that brings back what was lost. In the context of Israel, this restoration is not merely physical but also spiritual and national. Historically, Israel had faced numerous invasions and exiles, leading to a loss of identity and autonomy. The promise of restoration is a reassurance of God's covenant faithfulness, echoing the hope of returning to a state of wholeness and prosperity.<p><b>and heal your wounds</b><br />The Hebrew word for "heal" is "אֶרְפָּא" (erpa), which conveys the idea of mending or curing. "Wounds" (מַכּוֹתֶיךָ, makkotecha) can be understood both literally and metaphorically. Israel's wounds were not only physical due to warfare and exile but also emotional and spiritual due to the separation from God. This healing signifies God's comprehensive care, addressing all aspects of brokenness. It reflects the biblical theme of God as the ultimate healer, who not only addresses physical ailments but also restores the soul.<p><b>declares the LORD</b><br />The phrase "declares the LORD" (נְאֻם יְהוָה, ne'um YHWH) is a prophetic formula that underscores the authority and certainty of the message. It is a divine proclamation, emphasizing that the promise comes directly from God. In the conservative Christian perspective, this highlights the reliability of God's word and His unchanging nature. The use of "LORD" (YHWH) is significant, as it is the covenant name of God, reminding the audience of His eternal commitment to His people.<p><b>because they have called you an outcast</b><br />The term "outcast" (נִדָּחָה, nidachah) refers to someone who is rejected or marginalized. Historically, Israel was often scorned by surrounding nations, especially during periods of exile. This phrase acknowledges the scorn and alienation experienced by God's people. Yet, it also sets the stage for divine vindication. In a broader theological sense, it speaks to the human condition of alienation from God due to sin, and the subsequent restoration through divine grace.<p><b>saying ‘This is Zion, whom no one cares for.&#8217</b><br />"Zion" (צִיּוֹן, Tzion) is a term rich with theological and historical significance, often representing the city of Jerusalem and, by extension, the people of Israel. The phrase "whom no one cares for" (אֵין דּוֹרֵשׁ לָהּ, ein doresh lah) highlights the perceived abandonment and desolation of Zion. In the conservative Christian view, this underscores the theme of God's unwavering love and care for His chosen people, even when the world deems them forsaken. It serves as a reminder of God's promise to never leave nor forsake His people, ultimately fulfilled in the redemptive work of Christ, who cares for all who are spiritually outcast.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/30.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(17) <span class= "bld">I will restore health unto thee . . .</span>--Literally, <span class= "ital">I will place a healing plaster on thee. </span>The image of the plague-stricken sufferer is resumed from <a href="/jeremiah/30-13.htm" title="There is none to plead your cause, that you may be bound up: you have no healing medicines.">Jeremiah 30:13</a>. Men had scorned her. The contemptuous term of outcast had been flung at her. She was like Tyre, as a "harlot that had been forgotten" (<a href="/isaiah/23-16.htm" title="Take an harp, go about the city, you harlot that have been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that you may be remembered.">Isaiah 23:16</a>). There were none who sought her company. No nation courted her alliance. It was as though that extremest misery had touched the heart of Jehovah with pity, even for the adulteress who had forsaken Him. The whole passage brings the history, or the parable, of Gomer very vividly to our memory (Hosea 1-3).<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/30.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 17.</span> -
