Jeremiah 33:7-11

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

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 33:7

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 ,.... Even by the blood of Christ, which cleanses from all sin, of heart, lip, and life, in allusion to the purifications under the law, 1 John 1:7 ; see Ezekiel 36:25 ; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me ; for Christ's sake, and through his stoning sacrifice, and upon the foot of full satisfaction made by him. A heap of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:9

And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise, and an honour ,.... That is, the church and people of God, being redeemed and rebuilt by Christ, and being cleansed from their sins in his blood, and all their iniquities forgiven for his sake, would be a cause of joy to themselves and others, and bring joy, praise, and honour unto God: so the church, in the latter day, will be an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations, and a praise in the earth, Isaiah 60:15 ; and here they are said to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:10

Thus saith the Lord, again there shall be heard in this place ,.... This is to be connected with the beginning of Jeremiah 33:11 ; and what follows to be put in a parenthesis: which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast : as in Jeremiah 32:43 ; the destruction of it being now certain and inevitable; and by which such desolation would be made throughout the country, that very few men or cattle would be left: even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:11

The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness ,.... Such is the voice of the Gospel to all sensible sinners; whose eyes are opened to see their lost estate; whose ears are opened to hear the joyful sound: whose hearts are opened to attend to the things spoken in it; who are humble and contrite, wounded and broken in spirit, and have a spiritual understanding of things given them: to these the Gospel preached is glad tidings of great joy; since it contains in it the doctrines of peace and... read more
