John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:8

And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me ,.... Even by the blood of Christ, which cleanses from all sin, of heart, lip, and life, in allusion to the purifications under the law, 1 John 1:7 ; see Ezekiel 36:25 ; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me ; for Christ's sake, and through his stoning sacrifice, and upon the foot of full satisfaction made by him. A heap of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:9

And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise, and an honour ,.... That is, the church and people of God, being redeemed and rebuilt by Christ, and being cleansed from their sins in his blood, and all their iniquities forgiven for his sake, would be a cause of joy to themselves and others, and bring joy, praise, and honour unto God: so the church, in the latter day, will be an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations, and a praise in the earth, Isaiah 60:15 ; and here they are said to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:10

Thus saith the Lord, again there shall be heard in this place ,.... This is to be connected with the beginning of Jeremiah 33:11 ; and what follows to be put in a parenthesis: which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast : as in Jeremiah 32:43 ; the destruction of it being now certain and inevitable; and by which such desolation would be made throughout the country, that very few men or cattle would be left: even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:11

The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness ,.... Such is the voice of the Gospel to all sensible sinners; whose eyes are opened to see their lost estate; whose ears are opened to hear the joyful sound: whose hearts are opened to attend to the things spoken in it; who are humble and contrite, wounded and broken in spirit, and have a spiritual understanding of things given them: to these the Gospel preached is glad tidings of great joy; since it contains in it the doctrines of peace and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:12

Thus saith the Lord of hosts ,.... Which phrase, or what is answerable to it, is often repeated, to give authority to what is said, and to command a belief of it: again, in this place which is desolate ; which was said to be so, Jeremiah 33:10 ; and indeed was so; and was near utter destruction, as to be without man and without beast ; both falling into the hands of the enemy; and that not in the city of Jerusalem only, but in all the cities thereof ; of the land of Judea; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:13

In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale , and in the cities of the south ,.... Into which three parts the land of Judea was divided; See Gill on Jeremiah 32:44 ; and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah ; in the cities of the two tribes, of which Jerusalem was the metropolis; and which returned from the captivity, and settled here, and were in being when the Messiah came, here prophesied of, the great Shepherd of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:14

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord ,.... Or, "are coming" F20 באים "venientes", Montanus, Schmidt. ; future times are respected; yet such as would quickly come; five or six hundred years more, and then would be fulfilled what is after promised. This is ushered in with a "behold", as being a matter of importance, and deserving attention, and even as calling for admiration. This is the principal of the great and mighty things the Lord promised to show to the prophet, Jeremiah 33:3 ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:15

In those days, and at that time ,.... In those very selfsame days before spoken of; in those days to come, and which were hastening on; in the fulness of time, agreed on between Jehovah and his Son; the appointed, fixed, determined time: will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David ; not Zerubbabel, but the Messiah; who is not only a branch of David's family, and therefore said to grow up unto him, being of his seed, his son, and offspring; but a Branch of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:16

In those days shall Judah be saved ,.... The elect of God among the Jews; and all such who are Jews inwardly, who truly believe in Christ, and confess his name, and praise him, and give him the glory or salvation. Judah signifies one that confesses or praises the Lord; such shall be saved from sin, Satan, the law, wrath, hell, and damnation, by the Branch of righteousness, the Messiah; who was raised up and sent to be a Saviour; came into the world for this purpose; has obtained salvation... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:17

For thus saith the Lord ,.... Confirming the above promise concerning the Messiah; giving a reason why his coming may be expected; and why the salvation, justification, and final perseverance of his church and people, are certain things, and to be depended upon: David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel ; or, "there shall not be cut off unto David a man" F1 לא יכרת לדוד איש "non exscindetur Davidi vir", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator,... read more
