Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 30:19

19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving , and the voice of them that make merry , and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few ; I will also glorifie them , and they shall not be small .

Thanksgiving to God, as chap. 17.26. either thankofferings, Lev. 7.12, 13. or vocal Thanksgivings.

Either in a religious sense, or in a civil sense, if it be taken in the former▪ it signifieth their mirth at their Religious Festivals, of which we read much in Scripture, Psal. 42.4. and 118.15. &c. if in the latter, it signifieth their happy and joyful state after their restauration.

Though they be diminished in the captivity, yet I will return to them in my wonted providences, and multiply them according to my promise to Abraham, so as they shall be for number many.

And as to their quality it shall be honourable, though during those 70 years they shall be a people of mean, and no reputation, yet after that time they shall recover their ancient reputation, and again be a people great for honour and glory.
