Chapter 33
Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he
was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying, Thus saith Jehovah that
doeth it, Jehovah that formeth it to establish it; Jehovah is his name: Call
unto me, and I will answer thee, and will show thee great things, and ^3
difficult, which thou knowest not. For thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel,
concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of
Judah, which are broken down to make a defence against the mounds and against
the sword; while men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with
the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my wrath, and
for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city: Behold, I will
bring it ^4 health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal unto them
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 against
me, and whereby they have transgressed against me And this city shall be to me
for a name of joy, for a praise and for a glory, before all the nations of the
earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them, and shall fear and
tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I procure unto it.
[Footnote 3: Heb. fortified.]
[Footnote 4: Heb. a bandage.]
Thus saith Jehovah: Yet again there shall be heard in this place, whereof
ye say, It is waste, 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 say, Give thanks to Jehovah of hosts, for Jehovah is good, for his
lovingkindness endureth for ever; and of them that bring sacrifices of
thanksgiving into the house of Jehovah. For I will cause the captivity of the
land to return as at the first, saith Jehovah.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet again shall there be in this place,
which is waste, without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof,
a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. In the cities of
the hill-country, in the cities of the lowland, 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 again pass under the hands of him that
numbereth them, saith Jehovah.
Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will perform that good word
which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of
Judah. In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of
righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute justice and
righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem
shall dwell safely; and this is the name whereby she shall be called: Jehovah
our righteousness. For thus saith Jehovah: ^1 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 burn meal-
offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
[Footnote 1: Heb. There shall not be cut off from David.]
And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah:
If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that
there shall not be day and night in their season; then may also my covenant be
broken with David my servant, that he shall not have a son to reign upon his
throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. 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.
And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying, Considerest thou not
what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which Jehovah did
choose, he hath cast them off? thus do they despise my people, that they
should be no more a nation before them. Thus saith Jehovah: If my covenant of
day and night stand not, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and
earth; then will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant,
so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob: for I will ^2 cause their captivity to return, and will have
mercy on them.
[Footnote 2: Or, return to their captivity]
