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.

12 »Así dice el SEÑOR Todopoderoso: “En este lugar que está en ruinas, sin gente ni animales, y en todas sus ciudades, de nuevo habrá pastos en donde los pastores harán descansar a sus rebaños.

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’”.
