Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 30:16

16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured, and all thine adversaries, every one of them shall go into captivity, and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey .

The particle [non-Latin text not transcribed] is thought here to be ill Translated therefore, for manifestly it is not a causal or illative, and those who interpret it therefore, referr it to what went before, verse 10.11. It were better Translated nevertheless, or notwithstanding yet, so the learned Author of the English Annotations thinks it should be Translated, Isa. 7.14. and 30.18. and in many other Texts.

So this Text is a declaration of Gods free mercy, though this people had justly provoked the Lord by their iniquities to punish them, yet he would at length revenge them of their enemies, and those that spoiled them should feel his justice, and be themselves spoiled, so Isa. 10.12. and 33.1. God ordinarily punisheth those that have been enemies to his people, more severely then his people have been punished by them, the reasons are, because though they serve God in chastising his people, yet they do it not designedly; Isa. 10.7. and commonly they exceed a measure in their executing Gods vengeance.
