Jeremiah 33 (NET) New English Translation

1 The LORD spoke to Jeremiah a second time while he was still confined in the courtyard of the guardhouse.
2 "I, the LORD, do these things. I, the LORD, form the plan to bring them about. I am known as the LORD. I say to you,
3 'Call on me in prayer and I will answer you. I will show you great and mysterious things which you still do not know about.'
4 For I, the LORD God of Israel, have something more to say about the houses in this city and the royal buildings which have been torn down for defenses against the siege ramps and military incursions of the Babylonians:
5 'The defenders of the city will go out and fight with the Babylonians. But they will only fill those houses and buildings with the dead bodies of the people that I will kill in my anger and my wrath. That will happen because I have decided to turn my back on this city on account of the wicked things they have done.
6 But I will most surely heal the wounds of this city and restore it and its people to health. I will show them abundant peace and security.
7 I will restore Judah and Israel and will rebuild them as they were in days of old.
8 I will purify them from all the sin that they committed against me. I will forgive all their sins which they committed in rebelling against me.
9 All the nations will hear about all the good things which I will do to them. This city will bring me fame, honor, and praise before them for the joy that I bring it. The nations will tremble in awe at all the peace and prosperity that I will provide for it.'
10 "I, the LORD, say: 'You and your people are saying about this place, "It lies in ruins. There are no people or animals in it." That is true. The towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem will soon be desolate, uninhabited either by people or by animals. But happy sounds will again be heard in these places.
11 Once again there will be sounds of joy and gladness and the glad celebrations of brides and grooms. Once again people will bring their thank offerings to the temple of the LORD and will say, "Give thanks to the LORD who rules over all. For the LORD is good and his unfailing love lasts forever." For I, the LORD, affirm that I will restore the land to what it was in days of old.'
12 "I, the LORD who rules over all, say: 'This place will indeed lie in ruins. There will be no people or animals in it. But there will again be in it and in its towns sheepfolds where shepherds can rest their sheep.
13 I, the LORD, say that shepherds will once again count their sheep as they pass into the fold. They will do this in all the towns in the southern hill country, the western foothills, the southern hill country, the territory of Benjamin, the villages surrounding Jerusalem, and the towns of Judah.'
14 "I, the LORD, affirm: 'The time will certainly come when I will fulfill my gracious promise concerning the nations of Israel and Judah.
15 In those days and at that time I will raise up for them a righteous descendant of David. "'He will do what is just and right in the land.
16 Under his rule Judah will enjoy safety and Jerusalem will live in security. At that time Jerusalem will be called "The LORD has provided us with justice."
17 For I, the LORD, promise: "David will never lack a successor to occupy the throne over the nation of Israel.
18 Nor will the Levitical priests ever lack someone to stand before me and continually offer up burnt offerings, sacrifice cereal offerings, and offer the other sacrifices."'"
19 The LORD spoke further to Jeremiah.
20 "I, LORD, make the following promise: 'I have made a covenant with the day and with the night that they will always come at their proper times. Only if you people could break that covenant
21 could my covenant with my servant David and my covenant with the Levites ever be broken. So David will by all means always have a descendant to occupy his throne as king and the Levites will by all means always have priests who will minister before me.
22 I will make the children who follow one another in the line of my servant David very numerous. I will also make the Levites who minister before me very numerous. I will make them all as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sands which are on the seashore.'"
23 The LORD spoke still further to Jeremiah.
24 "You have surely noticed what these people are saying, haven't you? They are saying, 'The LORD has rejected the two families of Israel and Judah that he chose.' So they have little regard that my people will ever again be a nation.
25 But I, the LORD, make the following promise: I have made a covenant governing the coming of day and night. I have established the fixed laws governing heaven and earth.
26 Just as surely as I have done this, so surely will I never reject the descendants of Jacob. Nor will I ever refuse to choose one of my servant David's descendants to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Indeed, I will restore them and show mercy to them."
1 Moreover the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 the second H8145 time , while he H1931 was yet H5750 shut up H6113 in the court H2691 of the prison, H4307 saying, H559
2 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 the maker H6213 thereof , the LORD H3068 that formed H3335 it , to establish H3559 it ; the LORD H3068 is his name; H8034
3 Call H7121 unto H413 me , and I will answer H6030 thee , and show H5046 thee great H1419 and mighty H1219 things , which thou knowest H3045 not. H3808
4 For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 the God H430 of Israel, H3478 concerning H5921 the houses H1004 of this H2063 city, H5892 and concerning H5921 the houses H1004 of the kings H4428 of Judah, H3063 which are thrown down H5422 by H413 the mounts, H5550 and by H413 the sword; H2719
5 They come H935 to fight H3898 with H854 the Chaldeans, H3778 but it is to fill H4390 them with H854 the dead bodies H6297 of men, H120 whom H834 I have slain H5221 in mine anger H639 and in my fury, H2534 and for H5921 all H3605 whose H834 wickedness H7451 I have hid H5641 my face H6440 from this H2063 city H4480 H5892 .
6 Behold H2009 , I will bring H4608 it health H724 and cure, H4832 and I will cure H7495 them , and will reveal H1540 unto them the abundance H6283 of peace H7965 and truth. H571
7 And I will cause H853 the captivity H7622 of Judah H3063 and the captivity H7622 of Israel H3478 to return, H7725 and will build H1129 them , as at the first. H7223
8 And I will cleanse H2891 them from all H4480 H3605 their iniquity, H5771 whereby H834 they have sinned H2398 against me ; and I will pardon H5545 all H3605 their iniquities, H5771 whereby H834 they have sinned, H2398 and whereby H834 they have transgressed H6586 against me.
9 And it shall be H1961 to me a name H8034 of joy, H8342 a praise H8416 and an honor H8597 before all H3605 the nations H1471 of the earth, H776 which H834 shall hear H8085 H853 all H3605 the good H2896 that H834 I H595 do unto H6213 them : and they shall fear H6342 and tremble H7264 for H5921 all H3605 the goodness H2896 and for H5921 all H3605 the prosperity H7965 that H834 I H595 procure H6213 unto it.
10 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 Again H5750 there shall be heard H8085 in this H2088 place, H4725 which H834 ye H859 say H559 shall be desolate H2720 without H4480 H369 man H120 and without H4480 H369 beast, H929 even in the cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 and in the streets H2351 of Jerusalem, H3389 that are desolate, H8074 without H4480 H369 man, H120 and without H4480 H369 inhabitant, H3427 and without H4480 H369 beast, H929
11 The voice H6963 of joy, H8342 and the voice H6963 of gladness, H8057 the voice H6963 of the bridegroom, H2860 and the voice H6963 of the bride, H3618 the voice H6963 of them that shall say, H559 Praise H3034 H853 the LORD H3068 of hosts: H6635 for H3588 the LORD H3068 is good; H2896 for H3588 his mercy H2617 endureth forever: H5769 and of them that shall bring H935 the sacrifice of praise H8426 into the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068 For H3588 I will cause to return H7725 H853 the captivity H7622 of the land, H776 as at the first, H7223 saith H559 the LORD. H3068
12 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts; H6635 Again H5750 in this H2088 place, H4725 which is desolate H2720 without H4480 H369 man H120 and without H5704 beast, H929 and in all H3605 the cities H5892 thereof , shall be H1961 a habitation H5116 of shepherds H7462 causing their flocks H6629 to lie down. H7257
13 In the cities H5892 of the mountains, H2022 in the cities H5892 of the vale, H8219 and in the cities H5892 of the south, H5045 and in the land H776 of Benjamin, H1144 and in the places about H5439 Jerusalem, H3389 and in the cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 shall the flocks H6629 pass H5674 again H5750 under H5921 the hands H3027 of him that telleth H4487 them , saith H559 the LORD. H3068
14 Behold H2009 , the days H3117 come, H935 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 that I will perform H6965 H853 that good H2896 thing H1697 which H834 I have promised H1696 unto H413 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 and to H5704 the house H1004 of Judah. H3063
15 In those H1992 days, H3117 and at that H1931 time, H6256 will I cause the Branch H6780 of righteousness H6666 to grow up H6779 unto David; H1732 and he shall execute H6213 judgment H4941 and righteousness H6666 in the land. H776
16 In those H1992 days H3117 shall Judah H3063 be saved, H3467 and Jerusalem H3389 shall dwell H7931 safely: H983 and this H2088 is the name wherewith H834 she shall be called, H7121 The LORD H3068 our righteousness. H6664
17 For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 David H1732 shall never H3808 want H3772 a man H376 to sit H3427 upon H5921 the throne H3678 of the house H1004 of Israel; H3478
18 Neither H3808 shall the priests H3548 the Levites H3881 want H3772 a man H376 before H4480 H6440 me to offer H5927 burnt offerings, H5930 and to kindle H6999 meat offerings, H4503 and to do H6213 sacrifice H2077 continually H3605 H3117 .
19 And the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 Jeremiah, H3414 saying, H559
20 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 If H518 ye can break H6565 H853 my covenant H1285 of the day, H3117 and my covenant H1285 of the night, H3915 and that there should not H1115 be H1961 day H3119 and night H3915 in their season; H6256
21 Then may also H1571 my covenant H1285 be broken H6565 with H854 David H1732 my servant, H5650 that he should not have H4480 H1961 a son H1121 to reign H4427 upon H5921 his throne; H3678 and with H854 the Levites H3881 the priests, H3548 my ministers. H8334
22 As H834 the host H6635 of heaven H8064 cannot H3808 be numbered, H5608 neither H3808 the sand H2344 of the sea H3220 measured: H4058 so H3651 will I multiply H7235 H853 the seed H2233 of David H1732 my servant, H5650 and the Levites H3881 that minister unto H8334 me.
23 Moreover the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to H413 Jeremiah, H3414 saying, H559
24 Considerest H7200 thou not H3808 what H4100 this H2088 people H5971 have spoken, H1696 saying, H559 The two H8147 families H4940 which H834 the LORD H3068 hath chosen, H977 he hath even cast them off H3988 ? thus they have despised H5006 my people, H5971 that they should be no H4480 H1961 more H5750 a nation H1471 before H6440 them.
25 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 If H518 my covenant H1285 be not H3808 with day H3119 and night, H3915 and if I have not H3808 appointed H7760 the ordinances H2708 of heaven H8064 and earth; H776
26 Then H1571 will I cast away H3988 the seed H2233 of Jacob, H3290 and David H1732 my servant, H5650 so that I will not take H4480 H3947 any of his seed H4480 H2233 to be rulers H4910 over H413 the seed H2233 of Abraham, H85 Isaac, H3446 and Jacob: H3290 for H3588 I will cause H853 their captivity H7622 to return, H7725 and have mercy H7355 on them.
