Contextual Overview

¹ The word of Adonai came to Yirmeyahu a second time while he was still imprisoned in the guards' quarters: ² "Thus says Adonai the maker, Adonai who formed [the universe] so as to keep directing it — Adonai is his name: ³ ‘Call out to me, and I will answer you — I will tell you great things, hidden things of which you are unaware.'" ⁴ For here is what Adonai the God of Isra'el says concerning the houses of this city and the palaces of the kings of Y'hudah which are about to be destroyed and used as siege-works and ramparts, ⁵ where they will come to fight the Kasdim: "These places will eventually be filled with the corpses of people whom I am striking down in my anger and fury, everyone whose wickedness has caused me to hide my face from this city. ⁶ However, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them peace and truth in plenty. ⁷ I will cause the captives of Y'hudah and the captives of Isra'el to return; and I will build them up as I did at first. ⁸ I will cleanse them from all their sins, through which they offended me; and I will pardon all their sins, through which they offended and rebelled against me. ⁹ Then the name of this city will bring me joy, praise and glory before all the nations of the earth that hear about all the good I am doing for them; they will be overcome with fear and trembling at all the good and peace I am securing for it."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thus saith the Lord, the Maker thereof,.... The Syriac version is, "that made thee"; the prophet. The Septuagint and Arabic versions are, "the Maker of the earth"; see 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 in it, for himself, and for his praise, in order to establish it in the world; as it will be more especially in the latter day: we often read of the Lord's establishing his church and people in the world,

Psalms 48:8;

the Lord [is] his name; Jehovah, the self-existing Being, the Being of beings; who is able to perform whatever he undertakes, and so is equal to this work, of settling and establishing his interest.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Or, Thus saith Yahweh the doer of it, Yahweh who formeth it, that He may establish it, Yahweh is His name. The word “it” means whatsoever Yahweh wills.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 33:2. Thus saith the Lord the Maker thereof — עשה osah, the doer of it. That is, he who is to perform that which he is now about to promise. Thus translated by Dahler.-Voici ce que dit l'Eternel, qui fait ce qu'il a dit.-"Thus saith the Lord, who doth that which he hath said." The word Jehovah, not Lord, should be used in all such places as this.
