Chapter 33
1: Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he
was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
2: Thus saith the LORD the maker
thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name;
3: Call unto me, and
I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
4: For
thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of
the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;
5: They come to
fight with the Chaldeans, but it is fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger
and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
6: Behold, I
will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and
truth.
7: And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and
will build them, as at the first.
8: And 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, and
whereby they have transgressed against me.
9: 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.
10: Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate
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,
11: The voice of joy, and
the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that
shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that
shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of
the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.
12: Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this
place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an
habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
13: In the cities of the mountains,
in the cities of the vale, 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 pass again under the hands of him that
telleth them, saith the LORD.
14: Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform
that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
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.
16: In those days shall Judah be
saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our
righteousness.
17: For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the
throne of the house of Israel;
18: Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me
to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
19:
And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
20: Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break
my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their
season;
21: Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not
have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
22: As
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.
23: Moreover the word of the LORD
came to Jeremiah, saying,
24: Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The
two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that
they should be no more a nation before them.
25: Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not
with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
26: Then
will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be
rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have
mercy on them.
