Jeremiah 16:14Therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that it shall no more be said, As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
The setting
Same temple courts, moments after verse 13. Jeremiah's voice shifts from judgment to hope as God reveals the greater exodus coming. Modern-day Jerusalem, Israel/Palestine.
The emotion here: overwhelmed with excitement at seeing God's bigger plan
The original word
yāmîm (יָמִים) — days, but specifically 'the days' meaning the decisive future moment God will act
Why it matters
The return from Babylon under Cyrus was so dramatic it replaced the Exodus as Israel's defining rescue story
Read with care
What most readers miss in Jeremiah 16:14

Common misconceptionMost think this is just about the Jews returning from Babylon, but it's actually about God's rescue being so complete that even the Exodus will seem minor by comparison.
