Jeremiah 33:7-18

7I will 1restore the 2fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel and will 3rebuild them as they were at first. 8I will 4cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against Me and by which they have transgressed against Me. 95It will be to Me a 6name of joy, praise and glory before 7all the nations of the earth which will hear of all the 8good that I do for them, and they will 9fear and tremble because of all the good and all the peace that I make for it.’

10“Thus says the Lord, ‘Yet again there will be heard in this place, of which you say, “It is a 10waste, without man and without beast,” that is, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are 11desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast, 11the voice of 12joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, “13Give thanks to the Lord of hosts, For the Lord is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting”; and of those who bring a 14thank offering into the house of the Lord. For I will restore the 15fortunes of the land as they were at first,’ says the Lord.

12“Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘There will again be in this place which is waste, 16without man or beast, and in all its cities, a 17habitation of shepherds who rest their 18flocks. 13In the 19cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the Negev, in the land of Benjamin, in the environs of Jerusalem and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again 20pass under the hands of the one who numbers them,’ says the Lord.

14‘Behold, 21days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will 22fulfill the good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 15In those days and at that time I will cause a 23righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and He shall execute 24justice and righteousness on the earth. 16In those days 25Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will dwell in safety; and this is the name by which she will be called: the 26Lord is our righteousness.’ 17For thus says the Lord, ‘27David shall 28never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; 1829and the 30Levitical priests shall never lack a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to 31prepare sacrifices 32continually.’”
