Context of Jeremiah 33:16

14“The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will keep the promise that I made to Israel and Judah. 15In those days and at that time, I will cause a righteous branch to spring up for David. He will do what is fair and right in the land. In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live securely. Jerusalem will be called The Lord Our Righteousness. 17“This what the Lord says: David will never fail to have a descendant sitting on the throne of Israel. 18The Levitical priests will never fail to have a descendant in my presence to sacrifice burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to prepare daily sacrifices.”

Commentaries on Jeremiah 33:16

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 16And this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our Righteousness - See what has been said on Jeremiah 23:6; (note), which is generally supposed to be a strictly parallel passage: but they are very different, and I doubt whether they mean exactly the same thing. As to our translation here, it is ignorant, and almost impious; it says that Jerusalem, for that is the antecedent, shall be called The Lord our Righteousness. The pronoun לה lah…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 14-26Verses 14-26 To crown the blessings God has in store, here is a promise of the Messiah.

Christ is our Lord God, our righteousness, our sanctification, and our redemption. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. But in this world prosperity and adversity succeed each other, as light and darkness, day and night. The…Read the comment

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1616. Jerusalem--In Jr 23:6, instead of this, it is "Israel." "The name" in the Hebrew has here to be supplied from that passage; and for "he" (Messiah, the antitypical "Israel"), the antecedent there (Is 49:3), we have "she" here, that is, Jerusalem. She is called by the same name as Messiah, "The Lord Our Righteousness," by virtue of the mystical oneness between her (as the literal representative of the spiritual Church) and her Lord and Husband.
