Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 33:15

15 ¶ In those days, and at that time will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David , and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

Whatsoever the Jews and some others say, the Branch of Righteousness here spoken of can be meant of no other but Christ, who is called a Branch out of the stem of Iesse, Isa. 11.1. The Branch of the Lord, Isa. 4.2. A Righteous Branch, chap. 23.5. (see the Notes on those places) Zorobabel though descended from David cannot be meant here, but the same who is thus called in all those paralel Texts, of whom yet Z[illegible: 1 letter]robabel (being a good man, and descended from the Family of David may be allowed to have been a Type) but this Text far more concerneth Christ, as he in whom all the promises are founded, and in whom they are all Yea, and Amen. The Kings they had hitherto had of the line of David were most of them unrighteous men, but God promiseth that after the Captivity, they should have a Branch of David that should execute judgment and righteousness in the Land, under the protection and government of those that feared him.
