Jeremiah 33 1Moreover the word of YHWH came unto Jeremiah the second
time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying, 2Thus saith YHWH that doeth it, YHWH that formeth it to
establish it; YHWH is his name: 3Call unto me, and I will
answer thee, and will show thee great things, and difficult, which thou
knowest not. 4For thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel,
concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the
kings of Judah, which are broken down [to make a defence] against the
mounds and against the sword; 5while [men] come to fight with the
Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have
slain in mine anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I
have hid my face from this city: 6Behold, I will bring it health
and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal unto them abundance
of peace and truth. 7And I will cause the captivity of Judah and
the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the
first. 8And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby
they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities,
whereby they have sinned against me, and whereby they have transgressed
against me. 9And [this city] shall be to me for a name of joy,
for a praise and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth,
which shall hear all the good that I do unto them, and shall fear and
tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I procure unto it. 10Thus saith Jehovah: Yet again there shall be heard in this
place, whereof ye say, It is waste, without man and without beast, even
in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are
desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast, 11the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom
and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that say, Give thanks to
YHWH of hosts, for YHWH is good, for his lovingkindness
[endureth] for ever; [and of them] that bring [sacrifices of]
thanksgiving into the house of Jehovah. For I will cause the captivity
of the land to return as at the first, saith Jehovah. 12Thus
saith YHWH of hosts: Yet again shall there be in this place, which
is waste, without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof,
a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. 13In
the cities of the hill-country, in the cities of the lowland, and in
the cities of the South, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places
about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks again
pass under the hands of him that numbereth them, saith Jehovah. 14Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will perform that good
word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning
the house of Judah. 15In those days, and at that time, will I
cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall
execute justice and righteousness in the land. 16In those days
shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is
[the name] whereby she shall be called: YHWH our righteousness. 17For thus saith Jehovah: David shall never want a man to sit
upon the throne of the house of Israel; 18neither shall the
priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt-offerings, and
to burn meal-offerings, and to do sacrifice continually. 19And
the word of YHWH came unto Jeremiah, saying, 20Thus saith
Jehovah: If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the
night, so that there shall not be day and night in their season; 21then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that
he shall not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites
the priests, my ministers. 22As the host of heaven cannot be
numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured; so will I multiply the
seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me. 23And the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah, saying, 24Considerest you not what this people have spoken, saying, The two
families which YHWH did choose, he hath cast them off? thus do they
despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them. 25Thus saith Jehovah: If my covenant of day and night [stand]
not, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; 26then will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my
servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to
return, and will have mercy on them. Average revision: 0 (ASV Unaltered)
