Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

God speaketh once, yea, twice, for the encouragement of his people. We are not only so disobedient that we have need of precept upon precept to bring us to our duty, but so distrustful that we have need of promise upon promise to bring us to our comfort. This word, as the former, came to Jeremiah when he was in prison.

This site's exposition

Moreover, the word of the LORD

on Jeremiah 33:23-26

The final word quotes a taunt before answering it: “The LORD has rejected the two families He had chosen.” The answer ties Israel's standing to creation. The LORD would reject “the descendants of Jacob” only if He had not established “My covenant with the day and the night.”

This site's exposition

the descendants of Jacob

The last verse joins Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to David, so the promise to the patriarchs and the promise to the king stand together. Matthew Henry notes that God repeats his promises because his people are slow to trust. The chapter ends on compassion.
