Jeremiah 33:11-13

Revised Geneva Translation

¹¹ ‘the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who shall say, “Praise the LORD of Hosts because the LORD is good! For His mercy endures forever!” and of those who offer the sacrifice of praise in the House of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at first,’ says the LORD.

¹² “Thus says the LORD of Hosts: ‘Again, in this place which is desolate, without man and without beast, and in all its cities, there shall be dwelling for shepherds, to rest their flocks.

¹³ ‘In the cities of the mountains, in the cities in the plain, and in the cities of the South, and in the land of Benjamin, and around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the sheep pass again under the hand of him who counts them,’ says the LORD.
