Jeremías 33:9 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 33:9

And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise, and an honour,
&c.] That is, the church and people of God, being redeemed and rebuilt by Christ, and being cleansed from their sins in his blood, and all their iniquities forgiven for his sake, would be a cause of joy to themselves and others, and bring joy, praise, and honour unto God: so the church, in the latter day, will be an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations, and a praise in the earth, ( Isaiah 60:15 ) ( 62:7 ) ; and here they are said to be so, before all the nations, which shall hear all the good that I do unto
them;
in redeeming them by the Messiah; calling them by his Spirit and grace; justifying them by the righteousness of Christ; pardoning their sins through his blood; making them meet for, and giving them a title to, eternal glory and happiness; all which would be made known, as it has been to the Gentiles, through the preaching of the Gospel; and which has occasioned joy and gladness among them, and praise and thanksgiving unto God, and which has redounded to his honour and glory: and they shall fear and tremble, for all the goodness and for all the
prosperity that I procure unto it;
that is, they shall fear the Lord, and tremble at his word; not with a slavish, but filial fear, which is consistent with joy and gladness; and which fear will be influenced not by the terrors of the law, but by the goodness of God; being of the same nature with the fear of the converted Jews at the latter day, who will fear the Lord, and his goodness, ( Hosea 3:5 ) ; so the Gentiles, seeing and hearing of the goodness of God bestowed upon the believing Jews, will be solicitous for the same, and be encouraged to seek after it; and finding it, shall be engaged to fear the Lord, and worship him.

Jeremías 33:9 In-Context

7 Restableceré el bienestar de Judá e Israel y reconstruiré sus ciudades.

8 Los limpiaré de sus pecados contra mí y perdonaré todos sus pecados de rebelión.

9 ¡Entonces esta ciudad me traerá gozo, gloria y honra ante todas las naciones de la tierra! ¡Ellas verán todo el bien que hago a mi pueblo y temblarán de asombro al ver la paz y prosperidad que le doy!

10 »Esto dice el Señor
: ustedes dijeron: “Esta es una tierra desolada de donde la gente y los animales han desaparecido”. Sin embargo, en las calles desiertas de Jerusalén y de las otras ciudades de Judá volverán a oírse

11 risas y voces de alegría. Otra vez se oirán las voces felices de los novios y las novias junto con las canciones alegres de las personas que traen ofrendas de gratitud al Señor
. Cantarán:
“Denle gracias al Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales,
porque el Señor
es bueno.
¡Su fiel amor perdura para siempre!”.
Pues restauraré la prosperidad de esta tierra a como era en el pasado, dice el Señor
.
