エレミヤ書 33:13-22 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:21

Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant ,.... A type of the Messiah, with whom the covenant of grace is made, stands fast, and will never be broken; see Psalm 89:3 ; for, as the other is impossible, the breaking of the covenant with day and night, or hindering the certain rotation of them; so likewise as impossible is the breaking of the covenant with David concerning the perpetuity of his kingdom in the Messiah: that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:22

As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured ,.... As the stars of heaven are innumerable, and the sand of the sea immeasurable: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant ; the Messiah; the son and antitype of David; and who is often called by his name; and as the son of David is the servant of the Lord, his spiritual seed are meant, which shall endure for ever; and in Gospel times, especially in the latter part of them, shall be very numerous; see... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 33:16

And this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our Righteousness - See what has been said on Jeremiah 23:6 ; (note), which is generally supposed to be a strictly parallel passage: but they are very different, and I doubt whether they mean exactly the same thing. As to our translation here, it is ignorant, and almost impious; it says that Jerusalem, for that is the antecedent, shall be called The Lord our Righteousness. The pronoun לה lah , which is translated her, is the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 33:22

So will I multiply the seed of David - This must be understood of the spiritual David, Jesus Christ, and his progeny, genuine Christians. The two families which God chose for the priesthood, that of Aaron and Phinehas, or, on its being taken away from him, that of Ithamar, 1 Samuel 2:35 , are both extinct. Nor has the office of high priest, or priest of any kind offering sacrifice, been exercised among the Jews for nearly eighteen hundred years; therefore what is said here of the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 33:13

Verse 13 And in the next verse Jeremiah confirms the same thing, where he mentions, as before, the cities of the mountains, and the cities of the plains, and then the cities of the south, and adds also the land of Benjamin, which was a different part of the country, and he mentions generally the circuits of Jerusalem and the cities of Judah What then? The flocks, he says, shall pass under the hands of a numberer Here, again, is set forth a greater security, because shepherds would not, as it... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 33:14

Verse 14 Jeremiah now shews why God had promised that there would be a quiet habitation for shepherds, so that no one would by force take away their flocks. For God declares, that his promise would not be void, as its effects would shortly be evident, even when his mercy was known by the ten tribes and by the kingdom of Judah. Hence he says, The days shall come; for it behoved the faithful to look farther than to their present condition. As they were then exposed to slaughter, though the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 33:15

Verse 15 Here the Prophet shews what Paul afterwards has spoken of, that all the promises of God are in Christ yea and amen, (2 Corinthians 1:20) that is, that they do not stand nor can be valid as to us, except Christ interposes to sanction or confirm them. Then the efficacy of God’s promises depends on Christ alone. And hence the Prophets, when speaking of the grace of God, come at length to Christ, for without him all the promises would vanish away. Let us also know that the Jews had been so... read more
