| While Jeremiah was still in confinement in the court of the prison belonging to the palace (see Jer 32:2), the word of the Lord came to him the second time. This word of God is attached by שׁנית to the promise of Jer 32. It followed, too, not long, perhaps, after the other, which it further serves to confirm. - After the command to call on Him, that He might make known to him great and hidden things (Jer 33:2, Jer 33:3), the Lord announces that, although Jerusalem shall be destroyed by the Chaldeans, He shall yet restore it, bring back the captives of Judah and Israel, purify the city from its iniquities, and make it the glory and praise of all the people of the earth (Jer 33:4-9), so that in it and in the whole land joy will again prevail (Jer 33:10-13). Then the Lord promises the restoration of the kingdom through the righteous sprout of David - of the priesthood, too, and sacrificial worship (Jer 33:14-18); He promises also the everlasting duration of these two ordinances of grace (Jer 33:19-22), because His covenant with the seed of Jacob and David shall be as enduring as the natural ordinance of day and night, and the laws of heaven and earth (Jer 33:23-26). - The promises thus fall into two parts. First, there is proclaimed the restoration of the people and kingdom to a new and glorious state of prosperity (Jer 33:4-13); then the re-establishment of the monarchy and the priesthood to a new and permanent condition (Jer 33:14-26). In the first part, the promise given in Jer 32:36-44 is further carried out; in the second, the future form of the kingdom is more plainly depicted. |

| 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. |
9 Wherein [1722] [3739] I suffer trouble [2553], as [5613] an evil doer [2557], even unto [3360] bonds [1199]; but [235] the word [3056] of God [2316] is [1210] not [3756] bound [1210].
2 For then the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] army [02428] besieged [06696] Jerusalem [03389]: and Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] was shut up [03607] in the court [02691] of the prison [04307], which was in the king [04428] of Judah's [03063] house [01004].
3 For Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063] had shut him up [03607], saying [0559], Wherefore dost thou prophesy [05012], and say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Behold, I will give [05414] this city [05892] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and he shall take [03920] it;
11 And it came to pass, that when the army [02428] of the Chaldeans [03778] was broken up [05927] from Jerusalem [03389] for fear [06440] of Pharaoh's [06547] army [02428],
36 And now therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], concerning this city [05892], whereof ye say [0559], It shall be delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] by the sword [02719], and by the famine [07458], and by the pestilence [01698];
37 Behold, I will gather them out [06908] of all countries [0776], whither I have driven [05080] them in mine anger [0639], and in my fury [02534], and in great [01419] wrath [07110]; and I will bring them again [07725] unto this place [04725], and I will cause them to dwell [03427] safely [0983]:
38 And they shall be my people [05971], and I will be their God [0430]:
39 And I will give [05414] them one [0259] heart [03820], and one [0259] way [01870], that they may fear [03372] me for ever [03117], for the good [02896] of them, and of their children [01121] after [0310] them:
40 And I will make [03772] an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285] with them, that I will not turn away [07725] from them [0310], to do them good [03190]; but I will put [05414] my fear [03374] in their hearts [03824], that they shall not depart [05493] from me.
41 Yea, I will rejoice [07797] over them to do them good [02895], and I will plant [05193] them in this land [0776] assuredly [0571] with my whole heart [03820] and with my whole soul [05315].
42 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Like as I have brought [0935] all this great [01419] evil [07451] upon this people [05971], so will I bring [0935] upon them all the good [02896] that I have promised [01696] them.
43 And fields [07704] shall be bought [07069] in this land [0776], whereof ye say [0559], It is desolate [08077] without man [0120] or beast [0929]; it is given [05414] into the hand [03027] of the Chaldeans [03778].
44 Men shall buy [07069] fields [07704] for money [03701], and subscribe [03789] evidences [05612], and seal [02856] them, and take [05749] witnesses [05707] in the land [0776] of Benjamin [01144], and in the places about [05439] Jerusalem [03389], and in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and in the cities [05892] of the mountains [02022], and in the cities [05892] of the valley [08219], and in the cities [05892] of the south [05045]: for I will cause their captivity [07622] to return [07725], saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
14 Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I will perform [06965] that good [02896] thing [01697] which I have promised [01696] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478] and to the house [01004] of Judah [03063].
15 In those days [03117], and at that time [06256], will I cause the Branch [06780] of righteousness [06666] to grow up [06779] unto David [01732]; and he shall execute [06213] judgment [04941] and righteousness [06666] in the land [0776].
16 In those days [03117] shall Judah [03063] be saved [03467], and Jerusalem [03389] shall dwell [07931] safely [0983]: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called [07121], The LORD our righteousness [03072].
17 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; David [01732] shall never [03808] want [03772] a man [0376] to sit [03427] upon the throne [03678] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478];
18 Neither shall the priests [03548] the Levites [03881] want [03772] a man [0376] before [06440] me to offer [05927] burnt offerings [05930], and to kindle [06999] meat offerings [04503], and to do [06213] sacrifice [02077] continually [03117].
19 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559],
20 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; If ye can break [06565] my covenant [01285] of the day [03117], and my covenant [01285] of the night [03915], and that there should not be day [03119] and night [03915] in their season [06256];
21 Then may also my covenant [01285] be broken [06565] with David [01732] my servant [05650], that he should not have a son [01121] to reign [04427] upon his throne [03678]; and with the Levites [03881] the priests [03548], my ministers [08334].
22 As the host [06635] of heaven [08064] cannot be numbered [05608], neither the sand [02344] of the sea [03220] measured [04058]: so will I multiply [07235] the seed [02233] of David [01732] my servant [05650], and the Levites [03881] that minister [08334] unto me.
23 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559],
24 Considerest [07200] thou not what this people [05971] have spoken [01696], saying [0559], The two [08147] families [04940] which the LORD [03068] hath chosen [0977], he hath even cast them off [03988]? thus they have despised [05006] my people [05971], that they should be no more a nation [01471] before [06440] them.
25 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; If my covenant [01285] be not with day [03119] and night [03915], and if I have not appointed [07760] the ordinances [02708] of heaven [08064] and earth [0776];
26 Then [01571] will I cast away [03988] the seed [02233] of Jacob [03290], and David [01732] my servant [05650], so that I will not take [03947] any of his seed [02233] to be rulers [04910] over the seed [02233] of Abraham [085], Isaac [03446], and Jacob [03290]: for I will cause their captivity [07622] to return [07725] [07725], and have mercy [07355] on them.
4 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], concerning the houses [01004] of this city [05892], and concerning the houses [01004] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063], which are thrown down [05422] by the mounts [05550], and by the sword [02719];
5 They come [0935] to fight [03898] with the Chaldeans [03778], but it is to fill [04390] them with the dead bodies [06297] of men [0120], whom I have slain [05221] in mine anger [0639] and in my fury [02534], and for all whose wickedness [07451] I have hid [05641] my face [06440] from this city [05892].
6 Behold, I will bring [05927] it health [0724] and cure [04832], and I will cure [07495] them, and will reveal [01540] unto them the abundance [06283] of peace [07965] and truth [0571].
7 And I will cause the captivity [07622] of Judah [03063] and the captivity [07622] of Israel [03478] to return [07725], and will build [01129] them, as at the first [07223].
8 And I will cleanse [02891] them from all their iniquity [05771], whereby they have sinned [02398] against me; and I will pardon [05545] all their iniquities [05771], whereby they have sinned [02398], and whereby they have transgressed [06586] against me.
9 And it shall be to me a name [08034] of joy [08342], a praise [08416] and an honour [08597] before all the nations [01471] of the earth [0776], which shall hear [08085] all the good [02896] that I do [06213] unto them: and they shall fear [06342] and tremble [07264] for all the goodness [02896] and for all the prosperity [07965] that I procure [06213] unto it.
10 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Again there shall be heard [08085] in this place [04725], which ye say [0559] shall be desolate [02720] without man [0120] and without beast [0929], even in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and in the streets [02351] of Jerusalem [03389], that are desolate [08074], without man [0120], and without inhabitant [03427], and without beast [0929],
11 The voice [06963] of joy [08342], and the voice [06963] of gladness [08057], the voice [06963] of the bridegroom [02860], and the voice [06963] of the bride [03618], the voice [06963] of them that shall say [0559], Praise [03034] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]: for the LORD [03068] is good [02896]; for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]: and of them that shall bring [0935] the sacrifice of praise [08426] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. For I will cause to return [07725] the captivity [07622] of the land [0776], as at the first [07223], saith [0559] the LORD [03068].
12 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Again in this place [04725], which is desolate [02720] without man [0120] and without beast [0929], and in all the cities [05892] thereof, shall be an habitation [05116] of shepherds [07462] causing their flocks [06629] to lie down [07257].
13 In the cities [05892] of the mountains [02022], in the cities [05892] of the vale [08219], and in the cities [05892] of the south [05045], and in the land [0776] of Benjamin [01144], and in the places about [05439] Jerusalem [03389], and in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], shall the flocks [06629] pass again [05674] under the hands [03027] of him that telleth [04487] them, saith [0559] the LORD [03068].
23 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559],
24 Considerest [07200] thou not what this people [05971] have spoken [01696], saying [0559], The two [08147] families [04940] which the LORD [03068] hath chosen [0977], he hath even cast them off [03988]? thus they have despised [05006] my people [05971], that they should be no more a nation [01471] before [06440] them.
25 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; If my covenant [01285] be not with day [03119] and night [03915], and if I have not appointed [07760] the ordinances [02708] of heaven [08064] and earth [0776];
26 Then [01571] will I cast away [03988] the seed [02233] of Jacob [03290], and David [01732] my servant [05650], so that I will not take [03947] any of his seed [02233] to be rulers [04910] over the seed [02233] of Abraham [085], Isaac [03446], and Jacob [03290]: for I will cause their captivity [07622] to return [07725] [07725], and have mercy [07355] on them.
19 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559],
20 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; If ye can break [06565] my covenant [01285] of the day [03117], and my covenant [01285] of the night [03915], and that there should not be day [03119] and night [03915] in their season [06256];
21 Then may also my covenant [01285] be broken [06565] with David [01732] my servant [05650], that he should not have a son [01121] to reign [04427] upon his throne [03678]; and with the Levites [03881] the priests [03548], my ministers [08334].
22 As the host [06635] of heaven [08064] cannot be numbered [05608], neither the sand [02344] of the sea [03220] measured [04058]: so will I multiply [07235] the seed [02233] of David [01732] my servant [05650], and the Levites [03881] that minister [08334] unto me.
14 Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I will perform [06965] that good [02896] thing [01697] which I have promised [01696] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478] and to the house [01004] of Judah [03063].
15 In those days [03117], and at that time [06256], will I cause the Branch [06780] of righteousness [06666] to grow up [06779] unto David [01732]; and he shall execute [06213] judgment [04941] and righteousness [06666] in the land [0776].
16 In those days [03117] shall Judah [03063] be saved [03467], and Jerusalem [03389] shall dwell [07931] safely [0983]: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called [07121], The LORD our righteousness [03072].
17 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; David [01732] shall never [03808] want [03772] a man [0376] to sit [03427] upon the throne [03678] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478];
18 Neither shall the priests [03548] the Levites [03881] want [03772] a man [0376] before [06440] me to offer [05927] burnt offerings [05930], and to kindle [06999] meat offerings [04503], and to do [06213] sacrifice [02077] continually [03117].
10 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Again there shall be heard [08085] in this place [04725], which ye say [0559] shall be desolate [02720] without man [0120] and without beast [0929], even in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and in the streets [02351] of Jerusalem [03389], that are desolate [08074], without man [0120], and without inhabitant [03427], and without beast [0929],
11 The voice [06963] of joy [08342], and the voice [06963] of gladness [08057], the voice [06963] of the bridegroom [02860], and the voice [06963] of the bride [03618], the voice [06963] of them that shall say [0559], Praise [03034] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]: for the LORD [03068] is good [02896]; for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]: and of them that shall bring [0935] the sacrifice of praise [08426] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. For I will cause to return [07725] the captivity [07622] of the land [0776], as at the first [07223], saith [0559] the LORD [03068].
12 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Again in this place [04725], which is desolate [02720] without man [0120] and without beast [0929], and in all the cities [05892] thereof, shall be an habitation [05116] of shepherds [07462] causing their flocks [06629] to lie down [07257].
13 In the cities [05892] of the mountains [02022], in the cities [05892] of the vale [08219], and in the cities [05892] of the south [05045], and in the land [0776] of Benjamin [01144], and in the places about [05439] Jerusalem [03389], and in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], shall the flocks [06629] pass again [05674] under the hands [03027] of him that telleth [04487] them, saith [0559] the LORD [03068].
4 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], concerning the houses [01004] of this city [05892], and concerning the houses [01004] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063], which are thrown down [05422] by the mounts [05550], and by the sword [02719];
5 They come [0935] to fight [03898] with the Chaldeans [03778], but it is to fill [04390] them with the dead bodies [06297] of men [0120], whom I have slain [05221] in mine anger [0639] and in my fury [02534], and for all whose wickedness [07451] I have hid [05641] my face [06440] from this city [05892].
6 Behold, I will bring [05927] it health [0724] and cure [04832], and I will cure [07495] them, and will reveal [01540] unto them the abundance [06283] of peace [07965] and truth [0571].
7 And I will cause the captivity [07622] of Judah [03063] and the captivity [07622] of Israel [03478] to return [07725], and will build [01129] them, as at the first [07223].
8 And I will cleanse [02891] them from all their iniquity [05771], whereby they have sinned [02398] against me; and I will pardon [05545] all their iniquities [05771], whereby they have sinned [02398], and whereby they have transgressed [06586] against me.
9 And it shall be to me a name [08034] of joy [08342], a praise [08416] and an honour [08597] before all the nations [01471] of the earth [0776], which shall hear [08085] all the good [02896] that I do [06213] unto them: and they shall fear [06342] and tremble [07264] for all the goodness [02896] and for all the prosperity [07965] that I procure [06213] unto it.
