11the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that say, Give thanks to Jehovah of hosts, for Jehovah is good, for his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever; [and of them] that bring [sacrifices of] thanksgiving into the house of Jehovah. For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first, saith Jehovah.
12Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet again shall there be in this place, which is waste, without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
13In the cities of the hill-country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks again pass under the hands of him that numbereth them, saith Jehovah.

15In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, etc.] Or, “are coming”f645; 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, (<243303>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”f646; that gracious word concerning…”

“33:14-18 Picking up on the discussion of flaws in Zedekiah and the other kings of David’s dynasty (23:1-5), the Lord revealed the glories of the new ruler of the future. 33:14-15 The day will come. . . . In those days: These phrases point beyond the exiles’ return to a more distant event mentioned previously by the Lord’s prophets (Isa 32:1-2). They indicate the New Testament fulfillment of God’s plan in Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd (John 10:11) and the righteous descendant (literally a righteous branch; Isa 4:2; 11:1; Zech 3:8; 6:12, 13). • He: An individual, not a remnant, would be a fair judge and bring justice with his pronouncements.”
