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 33:8

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 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 33:8

I will cleanse them, etc. Restored prosperity without spiritual purification would be of no avail; how could it give happiness (comp. Jeremiah 31:34 )? read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 33:8

Forgiveness and cleansing. I. FORGIVENESS AND CLEANSING MUST BE CLOSELY ASSOCIATED . When God pardons he also cleanses. The first justification that treats as righteous by forgiveness is the seed of the second justification that makes righteous. It is often noted that it would be neither just in God nor wholesome for us that sin should be pardoned without the creation of a clean heart. But we should observe further that it would not even be possible for this to happen. For... read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 33:6-8

Jeremiah 33:6-8. Behold, I will bring it health and cure The latter part of this verse expounds the former: for, by health and cure, the prophet means peace and truth, or, stability. Blaney renders it, I will make it, namely, the city or state perfectly sound and whole. The disturbed and calamitous state of the nation being compared to wounds and sickness, (see Jeremiah 8:21-22; Jeremiah 30:17,) the restoring of it to a peaceful and prosperous state is fitly called its health and... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:1-26

The nation restored (33:1-26)After this reassurance, God encourages Jeremiah to ask for further revelations of his plans for his people (3:1-3). Because of his imprisonment, Jeremiah may not know what is happening in and around the city. God shows him that the people of Jerusalem are desperate. They are demolishing houses and palaces in order to obtain materials to strengthen the city walls against the enemy’s battering rams. But they are wasting their time, as the city is going to be destroyed... read more
