Jeremiah 33:2

“Thus saith the Lord, the Maker thereof, etc.] The Syriac version is, “that made thee”; the prophet. The Septuagint and Arabic versions are, “the Maker of the earth”; (see <243217>Jeremiah 32:17). Kimchi interprets it of Jerusalem; rather it is to be understood of the New Jerusalem, or church of God in Gospel times. Jarchi seems to understand it of this prophecy or promise, and so others; the promise of restoring and rebuilding Jerusalem; which, if taken of the church of God, may be admitted; the Lord that formed it, to establish it; who drew the scheme and model of this spiritual building, his church, in his eternal mind, and resolved upon its stability and glory; who forms it, and everyone…”

“maker thereof--rather, "the doer of it," namely, that which Jeremiah is about to prophesy, the restoration of Israel, an act which is thought now impossible, but which the Almighty will effect. formed it--namely, Jerusalem (Jer 32:44) [CALVIN]. Rather, "that formed," that is, moulds His purpose into due shape for execution (Isa 37:26). Lord . . . his name-- (Exo 3:14-15).”

“The Lord - The maker thereof, of Jerusalem, or of these promises, his name is Jehovah; he hath a sufficiency in himself to make good his word. Jeremiah 33:5”

“33:2 The Lord grounded this message in his power as the Creator of all things, and in the power of his name.”

“the maker: Osah, rather, "the Doer of it:" that is, He who is to perform that which He is now about to promise; thus rendered by Dahler; Voici ce qui dit l'Eternel, qui fait ce qu'il a dit. "Thus saith the Eternal, who doeth that which he hath said." Psa 87:5, Psa 102:16; Isa 14:32, Isa 37:26, Isa 43:1, Isa 43:21, Isa 62:7; Heb 11:10, Heb 11:16; Rev 21:2, Rev 21:10 the Lord: or, Jehovah, Jer 32:18; Exo 3:14, Exo 3:15, Exo 6:3, Exo 15:3; Amo 5:8, Amo 9:6 Jeremiah 33:3”

“Introduction. - Jer 33:2. "Thus saith Jahveh who makes it, Jahveh who forms it in order to establish it, Jahveh is His name: Jer 33:3. Call on me and I will answer thee, and tell thee great and hidden things which thou knowest not."
