Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 33:12-13

Jeremiah 33:12-13. Again in this place shall be a habitation for shepherds, &c. See Jeremiah 50:19; Isaiah 65:10. In those places which were desolate, without man and beast, there should be flocks and herds of sheep and goats, which the shepherds should take care of as in former times. And in the cities of Judah shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that telleth them Namely, so as to keep account of them, as they were wont to do, both morning and evening in those... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:1-26

The nation restored (33:1-26)After this reassurance, God encourages Jeremiah to ask for further revelations of his plans for his people (3:1-3). Because of his imprisonment, Jeremiah may not know what is happening in and around the city. God shows him that the people of Jerusalem are desperate. They are demolishing houses and palaces in order to obtain materials to strengthen the city walls against the enemy’s battering rams. But they are wasting their time, as the city is going to be destroyed... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 33:12-13

Judah would again become a quiet and secure place where shepherds pasture their flocks. This may refer to leaders of people, not just shepherds of sheep (cf. Jeremiah 23:1-3; Ezekiel 34:1-6; Luke 15:3-7; John 10:1-18). The Targum interpretation substituted the word "Messiah" for the phrase "the one who numbers them." read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 33:12-13

(12, 13) Again in this place.—The “place” includes, as in Jeremiah 33:10, “the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem.” The “habitation” for shepherds is translated sometimes by “sheepcote” (1 Chronicles 17:7; 2 Samuel 7:8), sometimes by “fold” (Isaiah 65:10; Ezekiel 34:14), sometimes by “dwelling” or “habitation.” It would seem here to answer to the “towns” of our old English speech, as meaning enclosed spaces, with the tower of the watchman (2 Kings 17:9; Isaiah 1:8), in which, in times... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:1-26

CHAPTER XXXIVRESTORATION VREVIEWJeremiah 30:1-24; Jeremiah 31:1-40; Jeremiah 32:1-44; Jeremiah 33:1-26IN reviewing these chapters we must be careful not to suppose that Jeremiah knew all that would ultimately result from his teaching. When he declared that the conditions of the New Covenant would be written, not in a few parchments, but on every heart, he laid down a principle which involved the most characteristic teaching of the New Testament and the Reformers, and which might seem to justify... read more

CHAPTER 33 New Message of Restoration and Blessing 1. The call to pray and Jerusalem’s overthrow (Jeremiah 33:1-5 ) 2. Future blessing and glory (Jeremiah 33:6-14 ) 3. The Branch of Righteousness; Jerusalem’s new name (Jeremiah 33:15-18 ) 4. Jehovah’s faithfulness (Jeremiah 33:19-26 ) Jeremiah 33:1-5 . Jeremiah is still in prison, as we learn from the first verse. The siege of Jerusalem is on. Then the Lord said, “Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty... read more
