- From the Geneva Notes.
- "I will send the Messiah, who will come of the house of David, of whom this prophecy is meant, as testify all the Jews and that which is written, Jer 23:5."
- From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
- "To crown the blessings God has in store, here is a promise of the Messiah. He imparts righteousness to his church, for he is made of God to us righteousness; and believers are made the righteousness of God in him."
- From Wesley's
Notes.
- "The kings they had hitherto had of the line of David, were most of them unrighteous men, but God promises that after the captivity, they should have a branch of David who would execute judgment and righteousness in the land, for the protection and government of those that feared him."
- From the Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
- "Jerusalem--In Jer 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 (Isa 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. Thus, whatever belongs to the Head belongs also to the members (Eph 5:30, 32). Hence, the Church is called "Christ" (Ro 16:7; 1Co 12:12). The Church hereby professes to draw all her righteousness from Christ (Isa 45:24, 25). It is for the sake of Jerusalem, literal and spiritual, that God the Father gives this name (Jehovah, Tsidkenu, "The Lord our Righteousness") to Christ.""
- Contemporary Commentary, Studies and Exegesis:
-
- "The same proclamation is given today to us, inheritors of Jeremiah's task. We are called to speak a word of hope and promise in a world often filled with fear and uncertainty, even despair."

Lectionary
Commentary, Jeremiah 33:14-16, 1st Sunday of Advent (Year C), by
Dennis Bratcher at Christian
Resource Institute.
- "As an Advent text, this passage not only calls us to reflect on the faithfulness of God in the past as He worked in Israel?s history, especially as that faithfulness worked out in the Coming of Jesus the Christ. It also calls us to hold the present realities of life within the cradle of expectation."
