Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 33:1-9

Observe here, I. The date of this comfortable prophecy which God entrusted Jeremiah with. It is not exact in the time, only that it was after that in the foregoing chapter, when things were still growing worse and worse; it was the second time. God speaketh once, yea, twice, for the encouragement of his people. We are not only so disobedient that we have need of precept upon precept to bring us to our duty, but so distrustful that we have need of promise upon promise to bring us to our... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:7

And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return ,.... Mention being made of the return of the captivity of Israel, or the ten tribes, as well as that of Judah, shows that this prophecy does not relate to the return of the Jews from their seventy years' captivity in Babylon; but is to be understood spiritually, of a release of the mystical and spiritual Israel of God from the captivity of sin, Satan, and the law, by the Messiah: and will build them as at the... read more

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 ,....

A heap of... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 33:7

Verse 7 By the word building, God means that they would return to their own country for this end — that they might remain secure in it. And this promise was very needful, since the Jews were on every side surrounded by enemies; for all their neighbors had united together against them, and were most hostile, so that they never ceased to create new troubles. For this reason mention is made of building, as though the Prophet had said, that the prosperity of the city would be lasting, for it would... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 33:8

Verse 8 He says first, that he would cleanse themfrom all iniquity, and then, that he would be propitious to all their iniquities He no doubt repeats the same thing; but the words are not superfluous, for it was necessary seriously to remind the Jews of their many vices, of which indeed they were conscious, and yet they did not repent. As then they perversely followed their own wills, it was needful for the Prophet to goad them sharply, so that they might know that they were exposed to eternal... read more
