Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
So they will come and sing joyfully on the heights of Zion, and they will stream together to receive the Lord's goodness - wheat, wine, oil, and young livestock. Their souls will be like a well-watered garden, and they will never grieve again.
God is promising His people a future filled with abundance, joy, and an end to all their sorrows.
📚 Historical Context
Jeremiah prophesied during one of Israel's darkest periods, just before and during the Babylonian exile (around 627-580 BC). This verse is part of what scholars call the 'Book of Consolation' (chapters 30-33), where God promises restoration after judgment. The people had lost their homeland, temple, and seemed to have lost God's favor, but here Jeremiah assures them of a glorious return and renewal.
