Jeremías 33:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 33:15

In those days, and at that time
In those very selfsame days before spoken of; in those days to come, and which were hastening on; in the fulness of time, agreed on between Jehovah and his Son; the appointed, fixed, determined time: will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David;
not Zerubbabel, but the Messiah; who is not only a branch of David's family, and therefore said to grow up unto him, being of his seed, his son, and offspring; but a Branch of righteousness, or a righteous Branch; perfectly righteous in himself, and the author of righteousness unto others; which cannot be said of Zerubbabel, or of any other branch springing from David but the Messiah; and of him the Targum interprets it, paraphrasing it thus,

``the Messiah of righteousness;''

and Kimchi's note is,

``this is the King Messiah;''

and so it is by other Jewish writers ^F24 interpreted of him: and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land;
judgment upon the blind Pharisees given up to judicial blindness and hardness of heart; and upon the world, and the prince of it, who was cast out by him; and though he came not at first to judge the world and all the individuals of it, as he will do at his second coming; yet all judgment, rule, and government of his church, is committed to him by his Father; and he is on the throne to order and establish it with judgment, and to overrule all things for the good of it, and his own and his Father's glory: and he has "wrought" out an everlasting "righteousness", agreeably to law and justice, for the justification of his people; for which reason he and they have the name in ( Jeremiah 33:16 ) .

13 En las ciudades de la región montañosa, de la llanura, y del Néguev, en el territorio de Benjamín, en los alrededores de Jerusalén y en las ciudades de Judá, las ovejas volverán a ser contadas por los pastores —dice el SEÑOR—.

14 »”Llegarán días —afirma el SEÑOR—, en que cumpliré la promesa de bendición que hice al pueblo de Israel y a la tribu de Judá.

15 »”En aquellos días, y en aquel tiempo,haré que brote de David un renuevo justo,y él practicará la justicia y el derecho en el país.

16 En aquellos días Judá estará a salvo,y Jerusalén morará segura.Y será llamada así:‘El SEÑOR es nuestra justicia’”.

17 Porque así dice el SEÑOR: “Nunca le faltará a David un descendiente que ocupe el trono del pueblo de Israel.
