JER-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,
JER-33:2 Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that
formed it, to establish it; the LORD [is] his name;
JER-33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee
great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
JER-33:4 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;
JER-33:5 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.
JER-33:6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will
cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and
truth.
JER-33:7 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the
captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the
first.
JER-33:8 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.
JER-33:9 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.
JER-33:10 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,
JER-33:11 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.
JER-33:12 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.
JER-33:13 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.
JER-33:14 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.
JER-33:15 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.
JER-33:16 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.
JER-33:17 For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man
to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
JER-33:18 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.
JER-33:19 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
JER-33:20 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;
JER-33:21 [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.
JER-33:22 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.
JER-33:23 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
JER-33:24 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.
JER-33:25 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;
JER-33:26 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.
