Jeremiah 33

Restoration Promised

1Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 the secondH8145 timeH8145, while he was stillH5750 12confinedH6113 in the courtH2691 of the guardH4307, sayingH559, 2“ThusH3541 saysH559 3the LordH3068 who madeH6213 4the earth, the LordH3068 who formedH3335 it to establishH3559 it, the 5LordH3068 is His nameH8034, 3‘6CallH7121 to Me and I will answerH6030 you, and I will tellH5046 you 7greatH1419 and mightyH1219 thingsH1219, 8which you do not knowH3045.’ 4For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 concerningH5921 the 9housesH1004 of thisH2088 cityH5892, and concerningH5921 the housesH1004 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 which are brokenH5422 downH5422 to make a defense againstH413 the 10siegeH5550 rampsH5550 and againstH413 the swordH2719, 5‘While they are comingH935 to 11fightH3898 with the ChaldeansH3778 and to fillH4390 them with the corpsesH6297 of menH120 whomH834 I have slainH5221 in My angerH639 and in My wrathH2534, and I have 12hiddenH5641 My faceH6440 from thisH2088 cityH5892 becauseH5921 of allH3605 their wickednessH7463: 6BeholdH2009, I will bringH5927 to it 13healthH724 and healingH4832, and I will healH7495 them; and I will revealH1540 to them an 14abundanceH6283 of peaceH7965 and truthH571. 7I will 15restoreH7725 the 16fortunesH7622 of JudahH3063 and the fortunesH7622 of IsraelH3478 and will 17rebuildH1129 them as they were at firstH7223. 8I will 18cleanseH2891 them from allH3605 their iniquityH5771 by whichH834 they have sinnedH2398 against Me, and I will pardonH5545 allH3605 their iniquitiesH5771 by whichH834 they have sinnedH2398 against Me and by whichH834 they have transgressedH6586 against Me. 919It will be to Me a 20nameH8034 of joyH8342, praiseH8416 and gloryH8597 before 21allH3605 the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 whichH834 will hearH8085 of allH3605 the 22goodH2899 that I doH6213 for them, and they will 23fearH6342 and trembleH7264 becauseH5921 of allH3605 the goodH2899 and allH3605 the peaceH7965 that I makeH6213 for it.’

10“ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘YetH5750 againH5750 there will be heardH8085 in thisH2088 placeH4725, of whichH834 you sayH559, “It is a 24wasteH2720, withoutH369 manH120 and withoutH369 beastH929,” that is, in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389 that are 25desolateH8074, withoutH369 manH120 and withoutH369 inhabitantH3427 and withoutH369 beastH929, 11the voiceH6963 of 26joyH8342 and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroomH2860 and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618, the voiceH6963 of those who sayH559, “27GiveH3034 thanksH3034 to the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, For the LordH3068 is goodH2896, For His lovingkindnessH2617 is everlastingH5769”; and of those who bringH935 a 28thankH8426 offeringH8426 into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. For I will restoreH7725 the 29fortunesH7622 of the landH776 as they were at firstH7223,’ saysH559 the LordH3068.

12“ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, ‘There will againH5750 be in thisH2088 placeH4725 which is wasteH2720, 30withoutH4480H369 manH120 or beastH929, and in allH3605 its citiesH5892, a 31habitationH5116 of shepherdsH7462 who restH7257 their 32flocksH6629. 13In the 33citiesH5892 of the hillH2022 countryH2022, in the citiesH5892 of the lowlandH8219, in the citiesH5892 of the NegevH5045, in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, in the environsH5439 of JerusalemH3389 and in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, the flocksH6629 will againH5750 34passH5674 underH5921 the handsH3027 of the one who numbersH4487 them,’ saysH559 the LordH3068.

The Davidic Kingdom

14‘BeholdH2009, 35daysH3117 are comingH935,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘when I will 36fulfillH6965 the goodH2896 wordH1697 whichH834 I have spokenH1696 concerningH413 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063. 15In thoseH1992 daysH3117 and at that timeH6256 I will cause a 37righteousH6666 BranchH6780 of DavidH1732 to springH6779 forthH6779; and He shall executeH6213 38justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666 on the earthH776. 16In thoseH1992 daysH3117 39JudahH3063 will be savedH3467 and JerusalemH3389 will dwellH7931 in safetyH983; and thisH2088 is the name by whichH834 she will be calledH7121: the 40LordH3068 is our righteousnessH6664.’ 17For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘41DavidH1732 shall 42neverH3808 lackH3772 a manH376 to sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; 1843and the 44LeviticalH3881 priestsH3548 shall neverH3808 lackH3772 a manH376 beforeH4480H6440 Me to offerH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH5930, to burnH6999 grain offeringsH4503 and to 45prepareH6213 sacrificesH2077 46continuallyH3605H3117.’”

19The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 20“ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘IfH518 you can 47breakH6565 My covenantH1285 for the dayH3117 and My covenantH1285 for the nightH3915, so that dayH3119 and nightH3915 will not be at their appointedH6256 timeH6256, 21then 48My covenantH1285 may alsoH1571 be brokenH6565 with DavidH1732 My servantH5650 so that he will not haveH1961 a sonH1121 to reignH4427 on his throneH3678, and with the LeviticalH3881 priestsH3548, My ministersH8334. 22As the 49hostH6635 of heavenH8064 cannotH3808 be countedH5608 and the 50sandH2344 of the seaH3220 cannotH3808 be measuredH4058, soH3651 I will 51multiplyH7235 the 52descendantsH2233 of DavidH1732 My servantH5650 and the 53LevitesH3881 who ministerH8334 to Me.’”

23And the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 24“Have you not observedH7200 whatH4100 thisH2088 peopleH5971 have spokenH1696, sayingH559, ‘The 54twoH8147 familiesH4940 whichH834 the LordH3068 choseH977, He has 55rejectedH3988 them’? Thus they 56despiseH5006 My peopleH5971, noH4480 longerH5750 are they as a nationH1471 57in their sightH6440. 25ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘IfH518 My 58covenantH1285 for dayH3119 and nightH3915 stand not, and the 59fixedH2708 patternsH2708 of heavenH8064 and earthH776 I have 60not establishedH7760, 26thenH1571 I would 61rejectH3988 the 62descendantsH2233 of JacobH3290 and DavidH1732 My servantH5650, 63not takingH3947 from his 64descendantsH2233 65rulersH4910 overH413 the 66descendantsH2233 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327 and JacobH3290. But I will 67restoreH7725 their 68fortunesH7622 and will haveH7355 69mercyH7355 on them.’”
