  2. Explication du texte

How will Jerusalem be a “name of joy, a praise and glory before all the nations of the earth”?

Jérémie 33:9 (NEG79)

9 Cette ville sera pour moi un sujet de joie, de louange et de gloire, Parmi toutes les nations de la terre, Qui apprendront tout le bien que je leur ferai; Elles seront étonnées et émues de tout le bonheur Et de toute la postérité que je leur accorderai.

The transformation of Jerusalem will be comprehensive. No longer will nations look at the destroyed city as a place to be despised because of the Lord’s judgment (see Jeremiah 18:16; Jeremiah 19:8, Jeremiah 25:9,Jeremiah 25:18). Instead, it will be a place known for its joy and will bring praise and glory to the Lord before all the nations. The nations will fear and tremble before the Lord, not because of judgment, but because of all the good he does for his people and the prosperity he provides for the city and the land.
