While Jeremiah was still confined
The phrase highlights the physical and emotional state of the prophet Jeremiah. The Hebrew root for "confined" is "עָצַר" (atsar), which means to restrain or imprison. This setting underscores the adversity Jeremiah faced as a prophet. Despite his confinement, God’s communication with him was not hindered. This serves as a powerful reminder that God's presence and revelation are not limited by human circumstances. Historically, Jeremiah's imprisonment was due to his unpopular prophecies against Jerusalem, reflecting the tension between divine truth and human authority.

in the courtyard of the guard
This location was a part of the royal palace complex in Jerusalem, where prisoners were kept under watch. Archaeological findings suggest that such courtyards were common in ancient Near Eastern palaces, serving as secure holding areas. The courtyard setting implies a semi-public space, indicating that Jeremiah's messages were not entirely hidden from public view. This setting symbolizes the intersection of divine revelation and human governance, where God's word penetrates even the centers of earthly power.

the word of the LORD
This phrase is central to the prophetic experience, emphasizing the divine origin of Jeremiah's message. The Hebrew term "דָּבָר" (dabar) for "word" signifies not just spoken words but also actions and events. It conveys the idea that God's word is dynamic and active, accomplishing His purposes. The "LORD" is rendered from "יהוה" (YHWH), the covenant name of God, highlighting His faithfulness and authority. This underscores the reliability and sovereignty of God's communication, even in times of national crisis.

came to him
The phrase indicates the initiative of God in reaching out to Jeremiah. The Hebrew verb "בּוֹא" (bo) means to come or enter, suggesting an intentional and purposeful action by God. This divine initiative is a testament to God's desire to guide and instruct His people, regardless of their circumstances. It reflects the personal nature of God's relationship with His prophets, where He actively engages with them to deliver His message.

a second time
This phrase emphasizes the persistence and continuity of God's communication with Jeremiah. The repetition signifies the importance of the message and God's unwavering commitment to His prophet. It also suggests a pattern of ongoing revelation, where God continues to speak and provide guidance. This persistence is a source of encouragement, illustrating that God does not abandon His servants but continually seeks to equip and reassure them, even in the face of adversity.

XXXIII.

(1-3) The second time, while he was yet shut up.--The discourse that follows belongs to the same period as the preceding chapter, and presents the same general characteristics. Its connexion with the operations of the siege to which Jerusalem was exposed will be traced in Jeremiah 33:4. As with other prophecies, its starting-point is found in the thought of the majesty of the attributes of God.

Great and mighty things.--The two adjectives occur in the same combination in Deuteronomy 1:28; Deuteronomy 9:1, and this fact is in favour of the rendering "mighty" rather than "hidden," as in the margin of the A.V.

Verse 1. - In the court of the prison; rather, of the guard (Jeremiah 32:2).
