Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 30:17

17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD, because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after .

As the miserable state of this people was by the Prophet verse 12.13. described under the similitude of a man wounded, and bruised, and sick, so their more prosperous state is described under the notion of health, and Gods action in restoring them, exprest under the notion of healing, both here, and in many other Texts, Isa. 6.10. and 19.22. and 57.18, 19.

The particle here Translated because may so signifie here, for often the scorn and contempt of Gods peoples enemies, causeth God to make haste to their salvation, and deliverance, but many think that it were better Translated although, as it is, Ios. 17.18. though the Heathens call thee one that I have cast off, as a man doth his Wife; yet they shall see the contrary, for I will heal thee of thy wounds,

Though they deriding say, this Zion whom none cares for: Some think that in this they alluded to the original signification of the word Tzion, which is a dry or wast place.
