33Jeremiah 33

1And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah a second time--and he is yet detained in the court of the prison--saying:Select Jeremiah 33:1

2Thus said Jehovah its maker, Jehovah its former, at establishing it, Jehovah is His name:Select Jeremiah 33:2

3Call unto Me, and I do answer thee, yea, I declare to thee great and fenced things--thou hast not known them.Select Jeremiah 33:3

4For thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, that are broken down for the mounts, and for the tool;Select Jeremiah 33:4

5they are coming in to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the carcases of men, whom I have smitten in Mine anger, and in My fury, and for whom I have hidden My face from this city, because of all their evil:Select Jeremiah 33:5

6Lo, I am increasing to it health and cure, And have healed them, and revealed to them The abundance of peace and truth.Select Jeremiah 33:6

7And I have turned back the captivity of Judah, And the captivity of Israel, And I have built them as at the first,Select Jeremiah 33:7

8And cleansed them from all their iniquity, That they have sinned against Me, And I have pardoned all their iniquities, That they have sinned against Me, And that they transgressed against Me.Select Jeremiah 33:8

9And it hath been to Me for a name of joy, For praise, and for beauty, to all nations of the earth, Who hear of all the good that I am doing them, And they have feared, And they have trembled for all the good, And for all the peace, that I am doing to it.Select Jeremiah 33:9

10Thus said Jehovah: Again heard in this place of which ye are saying, Waste it is , without man and without beast, In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, That are desolated, without man, And without inhabitant, and without beast,Select Jeremiah 33:10

11Is a voice of joy and a voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, The voice of those saying, Thank Jehovah of Hosts, for Jehovah is good, For His kindness is to the age, Who are bringing in thanksgiving to the house of Jehovah, For I turn back the captivity of the land, As at the first, said Jehovah.Select Jeremiah 33:11

12Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Again there is in this place--that is waste, Without man and beast, And in all its cities--a habitation of shepherds, Causing the flock to lie down.Select Jeremiah 33:12

13In the cities of the hill-country, In the cities of the low country, And in the cities of the south, And in the land of Benjamin, And in the suburbs of Jerusalem, And in the cities of Judah, Again doth the flock pass by under the hands of the numberer, said Jehovah.Select Jeremiah 33:13

14Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have established the good word That I spake unto the house of Israel, And concerning the house of Judah.Select Jeremiah 33:14

15In those days, and at that time, I cause to shoot up to David a shoot of righteousness, And he hath done judgment and righteousness in the earth.Select Jeremiah 33:15

16In those days is Judah saved, And Jerusalem doth dwell confidently, And this is he whom Jehovah proclaimeth to her: `Our Righteousness.'Select Jeremiah 33:16

17For thus said Jehovah: `Not cut off to David is one sitting on the throne of the house of Israel,Select Jeremiah 33:17

18And to the priests--the Levites, Not cut off from before Me is one, Causing a burnt-offering to ascend, And perfuming a present, and making sacrifice--all the days.'Select Jeremiah 33:18

19And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying,Select Jeremiah 33:19

20`Thus said Jehovah: If ye do break My covenant of the day, And My covenant of the night, So that they are not daily and nightly in their season,Select Jeremiah 33:20

21Also My covenant is broken with David My servant, So that he hath not a son reigning on his throne, And with the Levites the priests, My ministers.Select Jeremiah 33:21

22As the host of the heavens is not numbered, Nor the sand of the sea measured, So I multiply the seed of David My servant, And the Levites My ministers.'Select Jeremiah 33:22

23And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying:Select Jeremiah 33:23

24`Hast thou not considered what this people have spoken, saying: The two families on which Jehovah fixed, He doth reject them, And my people they despise--So that they are no more a people before them!Select Jeremiah 33:24

25Thus said Jehovah: If My covenant is not daily and nightly, The statutes of heaven and earth I have not appointed--Select Jeremiah 33:25

26Also the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, I reject, Against taking from his seed rulers For the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, For I turn back to their captivity, and have pitied them.'Select Jeremiah 33:26
