Jeremiah 30:11, word by word

declaresנְאֻםneum

declaration

Solemn words God himself speaks: "oracle of YHWH".

Where else “neum” appears
YHWHיְהוָהyehva

YHWH

The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.

The context

10And you, do not fear, my servant Jacob, declares YHWH, and do not be dismayed, Israel; for look, I am saving you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their captivity; and Jacob will return and be quiet and at ease, and there will be no one to make him afraid.
