So this city will bring Me renown, joy, praise, and glory before all the nations of the earth, who will hear of all the good I do for it. They will tremble in awe because of all the goodness and prosperity that I will provide for it.

Study note

Setting — The LORD addresses Jeremiah concerning Jerusalem immediately after promising to cleanse its inhabitants from rebellion and forgive their sins.

The words — The Hebrew phrase לְשֵׁם שָׂשׂוֹן וּלְתִפְאֶרֶת (le./Shem, sa.sOn, u./le./tif.'E.ret) literally translates to "into a name of joy and into honor."

The thread — This pattern of external nations witnessing divine restoration appears in Psalms 126:2, Isaiah 60:5, and Zephaniah 3:17.

Why it lands — The text requires readers to acknowledge that God's tangible provision for a community will generate observable public testimony and reverent response from surrounding peoples.

King James Version

And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.
