Jeremías 33:14 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 33:14

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord
Or, "are coming" {t}; future times are respected; yet such as would quickly come; five or six hundred years more, and then would be fulfilled what is after promised. This is ushered in with a "behold", as being a matter of importance, and deserving attention, and even as calling for admiration. This is the principal of the great and mighty things the Lord promised to show to the prophet, ( Jeremiah 33:3 ) ; even the coming of the Messiah, and what concerns his person and office: that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the
house of Israel and to the house of Judah;
or, "that good word" ^F21; that gracious word concerning Christ and salvation by him; that mercy promised to the fathers; that good thing that came out of Nazareth: the good Shepherd that laid down his life for the sheep, preferable to the shepherds before spoken of: or rather, "that best word" ^F23; the positive used for the superlative, as frequent in the Hebrew language. Many good words or promises are made before, concerning the spiritual welfare and prosperity of the church; but this is the best of all; this is the better thing provided for saints under the Gospel dispensation, and promised to them, who are meant by the houses of Judah and Israel; for these phrases, as the Jews themselves allow, show that the words belong to the times of the Messiah; and which God, that is true and cannot lie, and who is faithful, that has promised, and is able to perform, will do.

Jeremías 33:14 In-Context

12 Así dice Jehová de los ejércitos: En este lugar desierto, sin hombre y sin animal, y en todas sus ciudades, aun habrá cabañas de pastores que hagan tener majada á ganados.

13 En las ciudades de las montañas, en las ciudades de los campos, y en las ciudades del mediodía, y en tierra de Benjamín, y alrededor de Jerusalem y en las ciudades de Judá, aun pasarán ganados por las manos de los contadores, ha dicho Jehová.

14 He aquí vienen días, dice Jehová, en que yo confirmaré la palabra buena que he hablado á la casa de Israel y á la casa de Judá.

15 En aquellos días y en aquel tiempo haré producir á David Pimpollo de justicia, y hará juicio y justicia en la tierra.

16 En aquellos días Judá será salvo, y Jerusalem habitará seguramente, y esto es lo que la llamarán: Jehová, justicia nuestra.
