That's when Judah will be secure and Jerusalem live in safety. The motto for the city will be, " God Has Set Things Right for Us." God has made it clear that there will always be a descendant of David ruling the people of Israel and that there will always be Levitical priests on hand to offer burnt offerings, present grain offerings, and carry on the sacrificial worship in my honor.'"
New American Standard Bible (1995)

Contextual Overview

10 "This is what the Lord says: ‘You say of this place, "It is a waste, without man or animal." Yet in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are laid waste, with no man or animal living in them, there will again be heard 11 the voice of joy and the voice of happiness. In this place will be heard the voice of the man to be married and the voice of the bride, and the voice of those who say, "Give thanks to the Lord of All, for the Lord is good. His loving-kindness lasts forever." And here will be heard the voice of those who bring a gift of thanks into the house of the Lord. For I will bring them back to the land as they were before,' says the Lord. 12 "The Lord of All says, ‘This place is now a waste, without man or animal. Yet there will again be shepherds living in this place and in all its cities who can care for their sheep. 13 In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the valley, in the cities of the Negev, in the land of Benjamin, in the land around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of the one who numbers them,' says the Lord. 14 ‘See, the days are coming,' says the Lord, ‘when I will do what I promised to the people of Israel and the people of Judah. 15 In those days and at that time I will cause a right and good Branch of David to rise up. And He will do what is fair and right and good on the earth. 16 In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will be safe. And this is the name it will be called: The Lord makes us right and good.'

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,.... Or, "are coming" t; 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, 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" u; that gracious word concerning Christ and salvation by him; that mercy promised to the fathers; that good thing that came out of Nazareth: the good Shepherd that laid down his life for the sheep, preferable to the shepherds before spoken of: or rather, "that best word" w; the positive used for the superlative, as frequent in the Hebrew language. Many good words or promises are made before, concerning the spiritual welfare and prosperity of the church; but this is the best of all; this is the better thing provided for saints under the Gospel dispensation, and promised to them, who are meant by the houses of Judah and Israel; for these phrases, as the Jews themselves allow, show that the words belong to the times of the Messiah; and which God, that is true and cannot lie, and who is faithful, that has promised, and is able to perform, will do.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

That good thing - Better, the good word Jeremiah 29:10, with reference to the promise already given Jeremiah 23:5-6.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 33:14. Behold the days come — See Jeremiah 52:5; Jeremiah 31:31.

That good thing which I have promised — By my prophets: for those who have predicted the captivity have also foretold its conclusion, though not in such express terms as Jeremiah did. See Hosea 1:10, c. Hosea 2:15, c. Hosea 6:11, c. Amos 9:14, c., and Jeremiah 3:12, c. The end of the captivity has been foretold by Micah, Micah 7:9, &c. Zephaniah, Zephaniah 3:10, c. and by Jeremiah, Jeremiah 16:15 Jeremiah 23:3; Jeremiah 29:10; Jeremiah 32:37. The Targum explains verses Jeremiah 33:14, Jeremiah 33:15, and Jeremiah 33:16 of the Messiah.
