1. God promises to the captivity a gracious return;

In those days
This phrase refers to a future time of fulfillment and restoration. In the context of Jeremiah, it points to the Messianic age, a time anticipated by the prophets when God would intervene decisively in history. The Hebrew phrase "bayamim hahem" often signals a prophetic vision of hope and divine intervention, suggesting a period when God's promises will be realized.

Judah will be saved
The salvation of Judah signifies not just a physical deliverance from enemies but a spiritual renewal and restoration. The Hebrew word for "saved" is "yasha," which implies being delivered or rescued. Historically, Judah faced numerous threats, and this promise reassures the people of God's ultimate protection and redemption through the coming Messiah, who Christians believe is fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

and Jerusalem will dwell securely
Jerusalem, the city of God, represents the heart of the Jewish nation and the center of worship. The promise of dwelling securely, "betach" in Hebrew, conveys a sense of peace and safety. This security is not merely political but spiritual, indicating a time when God's presence will be fully realized among His people, providing them with true peace.

and this is the name by which it will be called
Names in the Bible often reflect character and destiny. The phrase indicates a new identity and purpose for Jerusalem, one that is intimately connected with God's nature and His covenant with His people. It suggests a transformation that aligns with God's redemptive plan.

The LORD Our Righteousness
This name, "Yahweh Tsidkenu" in Hebrew, encapsulates the essence of God's promise. It signifies that the righteousness of God will be the defining characteristic of His people. In a conservative Christian perspective, this is seen as a direct reference to Jesus Christ, who embodies God's righteousness and imparts it to believers. The righteousness of God is not earned but given, highlighting the grace and mercy of God in salvation. This name assures believers of their justified status before God through faith in Christ, who is the ultimate fulfillment of this prophetic promise.

(16) This is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness.--It will be noticed that, while this reproduces the language of Jeremiah 23:6, it does so with a remarkable difference. There the title, "The Lord our Righteousness," is given to the future King, and the passage has accordingly been used as a proof of the full divinity of the Christ, who is that King. Here it is given to the city, and, so given, can only mean that that name will be, as it were, the motto and watchword of her being. She will be a city marked by a righteousness which will be the gift of Jehovah; He will inscribe that name on her banners, and. grave it on her portals. It is obvious that this throws light on the meaning of the title as applied to the King.

Verse 16. - Wherewith she shall be called; viz. Jerusalem; in Jeremiah 23:6, the parallel passage, the subject is "Israel," unless there is a corruption of the text. The Lord our righteousness; rather, The Lord (is) our righteousness.
