Jeremiah 33

Revised Geneva Translation

33 Moreover, the Word of the LORD came to Jeremiah a second time (while he was still shut up in the court of prison) saying,

² “Thus says the LORD its maker, the LORD Who formed it and established it. The LORD is His Name:

³ ‘Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.’

⁴ “For thus says the LORD God of Israel concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are destroyed by the siege mounts and by the sword:

⁵ ‘They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill themselves with the dead bodies of men whom I have slain in My anger and in My wrath. For I have hidden My Face from this city because of all their wickedness.

⁶ ‘Behold, I will give it health and healing. For I will cure them and will reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.

⁷ ‘And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return and will build them as at first.

⁸ ‘And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me. Yea, I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against Me, and by which they have rebelled against Me.

⁹ ‘And it shall be to Me a Name of joy, a praise and an honor before all the nations of the Earth, which shall hear all the good that I do to them. And they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the wealth that I show to this city.’

¹⁰ “Thus says the LORD: ‘Again there shall be heard in this place which you say shall be desolate, without man and without beast in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem (that are desolate without man and without inhabitant and without beast)

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.

¹⁴ ‘Behold, the days come,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the House of Israel and to the House of Judah.

¹⁵ ‘In those days and at that time I will cause the Branch of Righteousness to grow up to David. And He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

¹⁶ ‘In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely. And He Who shall call her is the LORD Our Righteousness.’

¹⁷ “For thus says the LORD: ‘David shall never lack a man to sit upon the throne of the House of Israel.

¹⁸ ‘Nor shall the priests and Levites lack a man before Me to offer Burnt Offerings, and to offer Meat Offerings, and to do Sacrifice continually.’”

¹⁹ And the Word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,

²⁰ “Thus saith the LORD: ‘If you can break My Covenant of the day, and My Covenant of the night, so that there would not be day and night in their season,

²¹ ‘then may My Covenant be broken with David, My servant, so that he would not have a son to reign upon his throne, and with the Levites, priests, My ministers.

²² ‘As the army of Heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the seed of David, My servant, and the Levites who minister to Me.’”

²³ Moreover, the Word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,

²⁴ “Do you not consider what this people has spoken, saying, ‘The two families which the LORD has chosen, He has also cast them off?’ Thus they have despised My people, so that they would no longer be a nation before them.’

²⁵ “Thus says the LORD: ‘If My Covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the order of Heaven and Earth,

²⁶ ‘then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David, My servant, and not take from his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will cause their captivity to return and have compassion on them.’”
