Study Notes — Jeremiah 33:19
Show Verse Quote Highlights
Context — The Covenant with David
17For this is what the LORD says: David will never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel,
18nor will the priests who are Levites ever fail to have a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to present sacrifices.”
19And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
20“This is what the LORD says: If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night cease to occupy their appointed time, 21then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant and with My ministers the Levites who are priests, so that David will not have a son to reign on his throne.Jeremiah 33:19 Summary
[Jeremiah 33:19 tells us that God spoke directly to Jeremiah, which means God wanted to communicate something important to him. This shows us that God wants to talk to us too, and we can hear from Him through the Bible and prayer, just like we see in Psalm 119:105 and John 10:27. God's word is powerful and can guide us in our lives. By listening to God's word, we can learn more about His plans and promises, including those related to Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate fulfillment of God's covenant with David, as seen in Luke 1:31-33.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for the word of the Lord to come to someone?
In Jeremiah 33:19, the word of the Lord coming to Jeremiah signifies a direct revelation or communication from God, as seen in other instances like Isaiah 38:4 and Ezekiel 1:3, where prophets received specific messages from God.

The word of the Lord coming to Jeremiah in Jeremiah 33:19 serves as a transition to further emphasize and expand on the previous promises regarding David's throne, as stated in Jeremiah 33:17, highlighting God's faithfulness to His covenant with David.
Is this verse only about Jeremiah or does it have a broader application?
While Jeremiah 33:19 specifically mentions Jeremiah, the principle of God communicating with His people is a broader theme throughout the Bible, seen in verses like Jeremiah 29:12 and 1 John 5:14-15, where believers are encouraged to seek and listen to God's voice.
How does this verse fit into the overall message of Jeremiah?
Jeremiah 33:19 is part of a larger section where God reassures Jeremiah and the people of Israel about His plans for their restoration and the fulfillment of His covenant promises, as outlined in Jeremiah 32:36-44 and Jeremiah 33:14-26, emphasizing God's faithfulness and sovereignty.

Jeremiah 33:19 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,Ver. 19. And the word of the Lord, &c.] Iterum de perpetuitate regni Christi tractat et iurat, saith Oecolampadius. Once more he treateth of the perpetuity of Christ’ s kingdom, and assureth it as by oath.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 33:19
(19-22) And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying . . .—The new introduction here and in Jeremiah 33:23 indicates a fresh message borne in on the prophet’s mind after an interval of time. In substance it repeats the promise of Jer 33:17-18, but it reproduces them with yet greater solemnity. The covenant of Jehovah with David and with the Levites the priests is placed on the same level of permanence as the ordered succession of day and night. If the old order ultimately gave way to the new, it was only because the new was the transfigured and glorified reproduction of the old. Whatever may have been the thoughts of the prophet, we are authorised in looking for the seed of David and of the Levites in those who, by virtue of their union with Christ, are made both kings and priests unto the Father (Revelation 1:6). Just as the promise to the seed of Abraham is fulfilled in those who are spiritually the children of the faith of Abraham (Romans 9:7-8), so in this sense only can it be true that the seed of David and the Levites shall out number the host of the heaven and the sand of the sea.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 33:19
14–26. See introd. summary to the section. This portion of the ch. is clearly later than Jeremiah’s time. The expression “Levitical priests” (see on Jeremiah 33:18) is not one which he uses elsewhere. Moreover, there is a considerable amount of repetition in the passage (cp. Jeremiah 33:14-16 with Jeremiah 29:10, Jeremiah 23:5 f., and Jeremiah 33:17 with Jeremiah 35:19, and Jeremiah 33:20-26 with Jeremiah 31:35 f.). Above all, it is lacking in the LXX. It is very improbable that those translators would have designedly omitted such a proclamation of the Messianic hope, of the permanence of David’s line, and of the importance of the priestly office. The generally hopeful character of the passage also would have appealed to them. Gi., though deciding against the genuineness of the passage, considers that the phrase “Levitical priests” is so suitable to Jeremiah’s time, that here it must be considered as an archaism employed by a later writer.
Co. summarily rejects the passage, and substitutes Jeremiah 23:7 f., as being most appropriate here, while at least suspicious in 23. in view of its varying position in MT. and LXX.
