1Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 the secondH8145 timeH8145, while he was stillH5750 1confinedH6113 in the courtyardH2691 of the guardH4307, sayingH559, 2“ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 2the LordH3068 saysH559, He who madeH6213 3the earth, the LordH3068 who formedH3335 it to createH3559 it, He whose nameH8034 is the 4LordH3068: 3‘5CallH7121 to Me and I will answerH6030 you, and I will tellH5046 you 6greatH1419 and 7mightyH1219 thingsH1219, 8which you do not knowH3045.’ 4For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559 concerningH5921 the 9housesH1004 of thisH2088 cityH5892, and concerningH5921 the housesH1004 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 which have been tornH5422 downH5422 to make a defense againstH413 the 10assaultH5550 rampsH5550 and the swordH2719: 5‘While they are comingH935 to 11fightH3898 the ChaldeansH3778 and to fillH4390 12their houses with the bodiesH6297 of peopleH120 whomH834 I have struckH5221 downH5221 in My angerH639 and My wrathH2534, and I have 13hiddenH5641 My faceH6440 from thisH2088 cityH5892 becauseH5921 of allH3605 their wickednessH7463: 6BeholdH2009, I am going to bringH5927 to it 14healingH724 and a remedyH4832, and I will healH7495 them; and I will revealH1540 to them an 15abundanceH6283 of peaceH7965 and truthH571. 7And I will 16restoreH7725 the fortunesH7622 of JudahH3063 and the fortunesH7622 of IsraelH3478, and will 17rebuildH1129 them as they were at firstH7223. 8And I will 18cleanseH2891 them from allH3605 their wrongdoingH5771 by whichH834 they have sinnedH2398 against Me, and I will forgiveH5545 allH3605 their wrongdoingsH5771 by whichH834 they have sinnedH2398 against Me and revoltedH6586 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 be 23frightenedH6342 and trembleH7264 becauseH5921 of allH3605 the goodH2899 and allH3605 the peaceH7965 that I makeH6213 for it.’

10“ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: ‘Yet againH5750 there will be heardH8085 in thisH2088 placeH4725, of whichH834 you sayH559, “It is a 24wasteH2720, withoutH369 manH120 and withoutH369 animalH929,” that is, in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389 that are 25desertedH8074, withoutH369 manH120 and withoutH369 inhabitantH3427 and withoutH369 animalH929, 11the voiceH6963 of 26joyH8342 and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the groomH2860 and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618, the voiceH6963 of those who sayH559, “27GiveH3034 thanksH3034 to the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, For the LordH3068 is goodH2896, For His mercyH2617 is everlastingH5769,” as they bringH935 a 28thanksgivingH8426 offeringH8426 into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. For I will restoreH7725 the fortunesH7622 of the landH776 as they were at firstH7223,’ saysH559 the LordH3068.

12“ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559: ‘There will againH5750 be in thisH2088 placeH4725 which is wasteH2720, 29withoutH4480H369 manH120 or animalH929, and in allH3605 its citiesH5892, a pastureH5116 for shepherdsH7462 who restH7257 their 30flocksH6629. 13In the 31citiesH5892 of the hillH2022 countryH2022, in the citiesH5892 of the lowlandH8219, in the citiesH5892 of the NegevH5045, in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, in the areasH5439 surroundingH5439 JerusalemH3389, and in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, the flocksH6629 will againH5750 32passH5674 underH5921 the handsH3027 of the one who countsH4487 them,’ saysH559 the LordH3068.

The Davidic Kingdom

14‘BeholdH2009, 33daysH3117 are comingH935,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘when I will 34fulfillH6965 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 make a 35righteousH6666 BranchH6780 of DavidH1732 sproutH6779; and He shall executeH6213 36justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666 on the earthH776. 16In thoseH1992 daysH3117 37JudahH3063 will be savedH3467 and JerusalemH3389 will liveH7931 in safetyH983; and thisH2088 is the name by whichH834 it will be calledH7121: the 38LordH3068 is our righteousnessH6664.’ 17For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: ‘39DavidH1732 shall 40not lackH3772 a manH376 to sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; 1841and the 42LeviticalH3881 priestsH3548 shall not lackH3772 a manH376 beforeH4480H6440 Me to offerH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH5930, to burnH6999 grain offeringsH4503, and to 43prepareH6213 sacrificesH2077 44continuallyH3605H3117.’”

19And the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 20“ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: ‘IfH518 you can 45breakH6565 My covenantH1285 for the dayH3117 and My covenantH1285 for the nightH3915, so that dayH3119 and nightH3915 do not occurH1961 at their properH6256 timeH6256, 21then 46My covenantH1285 with DavidH1732 My servantH5650 may alsoH1571 be brokenH6565, so that he will not haveH1961 a sonH1121 to reignH4427 on his throneH3678, and with the LeviticalH3881 priestsH3548, My ministersH8334. 22As the 47heavenlyH8064 48lightsH6635 cannotH3808 be countedH5608, and the 49sandH2344 of the seaH3220 cannotH3808 be measuredH4058, soH3651 I will 50multiplyH7235 the 51descendantsH2233 of My servantH5650 DavidH1732 and the 52LevitesH3881 who serveH8334 Me.’”

23And the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 24“Have you not observedH7200 whatH4100 theseH2088 peopleH5971 have assertedH1696, sayingH559, ‘The 53twoH8147 familiesH4940 whichH834 the LordH3068 choseH977, He has 54rejectedH3988 them’? So they 55despiseH5006 My peopleH5971 as noH4480 longerH5750 being a nationH1471 56in their sightH6440. 25ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: ‘IfH518 My 57covenantH1285 for dayH3119 and nightH3915 does not continue, and I have 58not establishedH7760 the 59fixedH2708 patternsH2708 of heavenH8064 and earthH776, 26thenH1571 I would 60rejectH3988 the 61descendantsH2233 of JacobH3290 and DavidH1732 My servantH5650, soH4480 asH4480 notH4480 to takeH3947 from his 62descendantsH2233 63rulersH4910 overH413 the 64descendantsH2233 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290. But I will 65restoreH7725 their fortunesH7622 and haveH7355 66mercyH7355 onH7355 them.’”
