Behold
The word "Behold" is a call to attention, urging the listener or reader to focus on the significance of what follows. In Hebrew, this is often translated from "הִנֵּה" (hinneh), which serves as an imperative to pay attention. It is a divine announcement, indicating that what is about to be revealed is of utmost importance and worthy of contemplation. This word sets the stage for a prophetic declaration, inviting believers to anticipate God's unfolding plan.

the days are coming
This phrase is a prophetic marker, often used in the Old Testament to denote a future time when God will act decisively in history. It suggests an eschatological perspective, pointing to a time when God's promises will be realized. The Hebrew phrase "יָמִים בָּאִים" (yamim ba'im) implies certainty and inevitability, assuring the faithful that God's timeline is perfect and His promises are sure.

declares the LORD
The phrase "declares the LORD" underscores the authority and sovereignty of God. In Hebrew, "נְאֻם יְהוָה" (ne'um Yahweh) is a formulaic expression used by prophets to affirm that the message is not their own but is directly from God. This divine declaration assures the audience of the reliability and divine origin of the prophecy, reinforcing the trustworthiness of God's word.

when I will fulfill
The verb "fulfill" in Hebrew is "קִיֵּם" (kiyyem), which means to establish, confirm, or bring to completion. This indicates God's active role in bringing His promises to fruition. It reflects God's faithfulness and His commitment to His covenant with His people. The fulfillment is not just a passive occurrence but an intentional act of God, demonstrating His sovereignty and reliability.

the gracious promise
The "gracious promise" refers to the covenantal assurances God has made to His people. The Hebrew word for promise, "דָּבָר" (dabar), can also mean word or matter, emphasizing the weight and significance of God's commitments. This promise is described as "gracious," highlighting God's unmerited favor and love towards Israel and Judah. It is a reminder of God's steadfast love and mercy, which are central themes throughout Scripture.

that I have spoken
This phrase emphasizes the verbal nature of God's promise. The Hebrew "דִּבַּרְתִּי" (dibarti) indicates that God has communicated His intentions clearly and authoritatively. It reassures the audience that God's word is powerful and effective, and what He has spoken will surely come to pass. This underscores the importance of listening to and trusting in God's word.

to the house of Israel and the house of Judah
The mention of both "the house of Israel and the house of Judah" signifies the inclusivity of God's promise. Historically, after the division of the united monarchy, Israel and Judah were separate entities. This promise indicates God's intention to restore and bless both kingdoms, reflecting His desire for unity and reconciliation among His people. It is a prophetic vision of hope and restoration, pointing towards a future where God's people are united under His rule.

(14, 15) Behold, the days come, saith the Lord . . .--The words are manifestly a conscious reproduction of Jeremiah 23:5-6. In "I have promised" we may indeed trace a distinct reference to that passage. Once more "the Branch of righteousness" (Isaiah 4:2; Isaiah 11:1)--the coming heir of the throne of David, the true King who is to execute judgment--is put forward, as seen in the vision of the prophet's hopes.

Verses 14-26. - These verses are omitted in the Septuagint, and some leading critics think that both the style and the contents point to a different author from our prophet. In particular it is urged that the promise of a multitude of Levites and of descendants of David is isolated among the prophecies of Jeremiah, who elsewhere speaks of a single great representative of David as the object of pious hope, and of the intercourse between Jehovah and his people as being closer and more immediate than under the old Law. A variation in the form of expressing the Messianic hope is, however, not of much importance. Isaiah, for instance, sometimes refers to a single ideal king (Isaiah 9:6, etc.); sometimes to a succession of noble, God-fearing kings (Isaiah 32:1; Isaiah 33:17). Verse 14. - That good thing which I have promised; viz. in the parallel passage, Jeremiah 23:5, 6 (which see).
