Jeremiah 33:1

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 33:1

Moreover the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time ,.... Not that this was precisely the second time that the word of the Lord came to the prophet, for it had come to him many more times than those; but this was the second time on the same occasion and subject; for the subject of this chapter is the same with that of the former, concerning the Messiah, and the happiness of the church in his times: (while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison) : though the prophet... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 33:1

Moreover the word of the Lord - This was in the eleventh year of the reign of Zedekiah, Jeremiah being still shut up in prison: but he was now in the court of the prison, where the elders and the king's officers, etc., might consult him with the greater ease; for they continued to inquire, foolishly thinking, that if he would but prophesy good things, that these must come, or that he had sufficient power with God to induce him to alter his mind, - destroy the Chaldeans, and deliver the city. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 33:1

Verse 1 This prophecy refers to the same subject; nor was it to be wondered at, that God spoke so much of the same thing, for it was necessary to render the Jews inexcusable, as they always pretended ignorance, except God made frequent repetitions. And this was also the reason why Paul said, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses everything should be established, when he said that he would come the second and the third time to Corinth. (2 Corinthians 13:1) He intimated that his coming... read more

An invitation to prayer. I. THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE INVITATION . ( Jeremiah 33:1 .) 1 . It was to Jeremiah; i.e. 2 . The invitation came to Jeremiah in prison. Stone walls cannot shut out God from us, nor prevent our souls from rising in prayer to him. The persecutor cannot rob his victim of his choicest jewel. God often visits the soul in scenes of earthly distress. 3 . The invitation came a second time. God repeatedly visits his troubled children. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 33:1-3

Revelation of God's purpose to him who performs his will. Jeremiah had resolutely witnessed to the truth, and now he was confined in the king's prison in order to his being silenced. But so far from the Divine communications being less frequent, they were more so, and, if possible, more weighty and important. The word of the Lord came to him the second time (verse 1), and a gracious revelation of God's power and willingness to bless. I. GOD IS WITH THOSE WHO SUFFER FOR ... read more
