"How much we owe to prison visions and literature! Shut up in the court of the prison, Jeremiah saw God as the unconfined creator of all things (33:2), the unlimited scope of intercession (verse 3), the evidence of future blessing (verse 6-9), and the liberating and righteous Messiah (verses 14-17).*
When the chapter ends, God makes it clear that he isn't done with Israel or David's seed. God makes it clear that the sun rising and setting will end before he forsakes his covenant. To say it another way, God keeps his promises no matter what things look like to us.
