Jeremiah 31 belongs to the record written immediately after Jeremiah's exchange of letters with the elders of Israel in Babylonian captivity, gathering together all that had been revealed about the restoration of Israel. The chapter gives the sure promise of return from captivity and plain testimony that seventy years would be accomplished in the desolations of Jerusalem. More than sixty years later, in the first year of Darius the Mede, Daniel prayerfully studied this testimony in the books and understood it.
