He afterwards says, _Behold, I will bring a renewal and a healing, and I will heal them _This is the main point, as they say, in the passage. He had been hitherto shewing, that the Jews had deserved so heavy a punishment, because by their obstinacy they had not ceased to provoke God against themselves. But he promises here to be propitious to them after having moderately corrected them. For we have said, that the design of this prophecy was to sustain the Jews, so that they might not despond, but rely on the promise of favor, however bitter exile might be. Then he says, _I will bring a renewal, _or restoration, _and a healing _(88) And it is added, _I will open to them abundance of peace and of truth _Some render the last word, אמת, _amet, _prayer; for the verb אמן _amen, _means sometimes to pray and also to multiply. There may then be a twofol

1-13 Those who expect to receive comforts from God, must call upon him. Promises are given, not to do away, but to quicken and encourage prayer. These promises lead us to the gospel of Christ; and in that God has revealed truth to direct us, and peace to make us easy. All who by sanctifying grace are cleansed from the filth of sin, by pardoning mercy are freed from the guilt. When sinners are thus justified, washed, and sanctified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Holy Spirit, they are enabled to walk before God in peace and purity. Many are led to perceive the real difference between the people of God and the world around them, and to fear the Divine wrath. It is promised that the people who were long in sorrow, shall again be filled with joy. Where the Lord gives righteousness and peace, he will give all needful supplies for temporal wants; and all we have will be comforts, as...

EXPOSITION A chapter of promises, having reference, first, to the people and kingdom in general (Jeremiah 33:4), and then to the royal and priestly offices in particular (Jeremiah 33:14). The first part is but the expansion of passages in the preceding prophecy, to which this chapter is attached by the opening verse. The remaining portion is less closely connected; it is occupied by promises of the perpetual duration of the house of David and of the Levites. It should be noticed by the student that there are difficulties connected with the authorship of Jeremiah 33:14, Jeremiah 33:26 (see below)....

BEHOLD, I WILL BRING IT HEALTH AND CURE, AND I WILL CURE THEM,.... That is, the church of God, the members of it, typified by Jerusalem; and it is to be understood of the healing of their spiritual maladies, the diseases of sin, through the blood of the Messiah, who should arise with healing in his wings; that is, with remission of sin, which is often meant by healing in Scripture: Christ is the physician; his blood the balm in Gilead, which being applied to those that are diseased with sin, to sin sick souls, it makes an effectual cure of them; so that they shall not say they are sick, because their iniquities are forgiven them; see Psalms 103:3; AND WILL REVEAL UNTO THEM THE ABUNDANCE OF PEACE AND TRUTH; the same with "grace and truth", which are come by Christ, John 1:17; under the Old Testa

CHAPTER 33 New Message of Restoration and Blessing _ 1. The call to pray and Jerusalem's overthrow (Jeremiah 33:1) _ 2. Future blessing and glory (Jeremiah 33:6) 3. The Branch of Righteousness; Jerusalem's new name (Jeremiah 33:15) 4. Jehovah's faithfulness (Jeremiah 33:19) Jeremiah 33:1. Jeremiah is still in prison, as we learn from the first verse. The siege of Jerusalem is on. Then the Lord said, “Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which th

JEREMIAH 33. PROMISES OF RESTORATION. There may be a Jeremianic nucleus in the first half of the chapter, but Jeremiah 33:14, being imitative, and omitted by LXX, is probably late. Yahweh the Restorer promises to reveal great and secret things (Isaiah 48:6). In spite of the present state of the city, which is surrounded by besiegers, Yahweh will restore it to health (Jeremiah 33:6, new flesh, Jeremiah 8:22), establish its prosperity (truth means firmness; _cf._ Jeremiah 14:13), renew its former estate ...
