Jeremiah 33:13 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 33:10-16

Here is a further prediction of the happy state of Judah and Jerusalem after their glorious return out of captivity, issuing gloriously at length in the kingdom of the Messiah. I. It is promised that the people who were long in sorrow shall again be filled with joy. Every one concluded now that the country would lie for ever desolate, that no beasts would be found in the land of Judah, no inhabitant in the streets of Jerusalem, and consequently there would be nothing but universal 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 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 33:10-13

Town and country life. In describing the happy future of Israel after the restoration Jeremiah draws a pair of idyllic pictures of town and country life. Both the city of Jerusalem and the outlying regions were so depopulated and wasted by the Chaldean invasion that it was difficult to believe the sun of prosperity would ever shine on them again. But under the providence of God there is a wonderful recuperative power in the human world as well as in the natural. It is remarkable how soon... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 33:10-18

Paradise lost and regained. I. THE PICTURE OF A PARADISE LOST . This is given in Jeremiah 33:10 . The land desolate; the flocks and herds all gone; no human being to be seen; the cities laid waste. Now, this meagre outline would recall to the mind of the Jews the blessed days when the land teemed with inhabitants; when the cities were numerous, wealthy, populous, and strong; when the hills and dales of their countryside were covered over with flocks; and when, in the glad... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 33:12-13

Returning flocks. In Jeremiah 31:1-40 . there has been mention of planting vineyards, and of God's goodness with respect to the corn, the wine, the oil. But agriculture was only one of the important industries of the land. To have set ploughmen and vine dressers to work again, and left shepherds unprovided for, would have meant only a partial restoration. God has a remembrance of all classes of the community, and all varieties of the surface of the earth. Shepherds were not to go away... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 33:13

In the cities, etc. A parallel description to Jeremiah 17:26 ; Jeremiah 32:44 . The vale; rather, the lowland (about the Mediterranean, on the south). The south. It is the Negeb, or south country, which is meant. Under the hands; rather, at the beck. Of him that telleth them. Comp. Milton, 'L'Allegro'— "And every shepherd tolls his tale Under the hawthorn in the dale." Virgil, 'Eel.,' 3.34— " Bisque die numerant ambo pecus, alter et haedos ." read more

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
