Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 33:24

Theological / Devotional

What this people have spoken. Some commentators have understood this passage to be the taunt of the heathen at the seeming downfall of “the two families,” which these commentators interpret to be the two kingdoms of the Israelites, Israel and Judah (see Eze. 35:10; 36:19, 20). Others interpret “this people” to be the Israelites themselves (see Jer. 4:10; 5:14, 23; 6:19), who in their faithlessness had given way to despair (chs. 32:42, 43; 33:10), because even “the two families,” the family of David and of Levi (ch. 33:21, 22), seem to have been forsaken by God.
