Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
16:14-18 Jeremiah’s message was two-pronged: Judgment does not erase eventual hope (16:14-15), but neither does hope cancel out the certainty of judgment (16:16-18). 16:14-15 The Lord planned to bring his people back from exile to the Promised Land, an event that would be on par with the exodus from Egypt (see Ezra 1–6). The Exodus was the primary event in Israel’s history that had demonstrated the reality and power of the one true God.
