Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 33:2

Jeremiah 33:2. Thus saith the Lord, the maker thereof That is, as many interpreters understand it, of the city of Jerusalem, a figure of that church spoken of before: see Jeremiah 32:36; Jeremiah 32:44, compared with the 4th, 6th, and 9th verses of this chapter. Blaney, however, renders the clause, Thus saith Jehovah the doer of it, Jehovah the framer of it, who also disposeth it, considering the pronoun it as referring to the thing which God here says he is about to do. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 33:3

Jeremiah 33:3 . Call unto me, and I will answer thee An expression manifesting God’s favour and loving kindness; that he was ready to comply with the first intimations of his servant’s desires. Compare Jeremiah 29:12. God, by thus directing his discourse to Jeremiah, not only signified his kindness toward him, but likewise the affection he still bore to his people, for, whom this prophet so earnestly interceded, and whose welfare he had so much at heart. And show thee great and mighty... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 33:4-5

Jeremiah 33:4-5. Thus saith the Lord concerning the houses of this city Not excepting those of the kings of Judah, thrown down by the mounts Namely, by the battering engines placed upon the mounts, which were raised against the walls of the city; and by the sword By the violence of war. The Hebrew word generally rendered sword may mean any instrument of iron, and particularly such as were used in demolishing any building. It is rendered a mattock by our translators, 2 Chronicles 24:6,... read more

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

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

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Jeremiah 33:2

the Maker thereof = the doer thereof: i.e. the accomplisher of His word. the LORD. This is not found in some codices, nor in the Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate. the LORD is His name. The Massorah states that this expression occurs only four times (Exodus 15:3 .Exodus 33:2 .Amos 5:8 ; Amos 9:6 ). Reference to Pentateuch (Exodus 15:3 ). App-92 . read more
