Chapter 33.
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, Thus saith the Lord, the Maker
thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it.
The Lord is his name.
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things
which thou knowest not.
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.
They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to 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.
Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them and will reveal unto
them the abundance of peace and truth.
And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return,
and will build them as at the first.
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.
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.
Thus saith the Lord.
Again they shall be heard in this place, which she 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, 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 forever, 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.
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 inhabitation of shepherds,
causing their flocks to lie down.
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.
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.
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.
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.
For thus saith the Lord, David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the
house of Israel, 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.
And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying, 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, 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, as a 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.
Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 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.
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, 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.
