Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 the secondH8145 time, while he was yetH5750 shutH6113 up in the courtH2691 of the prison,H4307 saying,H559
2
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 the makerH6213 thereof, the LORDH3068 that formedH3335 it, to establishH3559 it; the LORDH3068 is his name;H8034
3
CallH7121 to me, and I will answerH6030 you, and showH5046 you greatH1419 and mightyH1219 things, which you knowH3045 not.
4
For thusH3541 saidH559 the LORD,H3068 the GodH430 of Israel,H3478 concerningH5921 the housesH1004 of thisH2063 city,H5892 and concerningH5921 the housesH1004 of the kingsH4428 of Judah,H3063 which are thrownH5422 downH5422 by the mounts,H5550 and by the sword;H2719
5
They comeH935 to fightH3898 with the Chaldeans,H3778 but it is to fillH4390 them with the deadH6297 bodiesH6297 of men,H120 whomH834 I have slainH5221 in my angerH639 and in my fury,H2534 and for allH3605 whoseH834 wickednessH7451 I have hidH5641 my faceH6440 from thisH2063 city.H5892
6
Behold,H2005 I will bringH4608 it healthH724 and cure,H4832 and I will cureH7495 them, and will revealH1540 to them the abundanceH6283 of peaceH7965 and truth.H571
7
And I will cause the captivityH7622 of JudahH3063 and the captivityH7622 of IsraelH3478 to return,H7725 and will buildH1129 them, as at the first.H7223
8
And I will cleanseH2891 them from allH3605 their iniquity,H5771 wherebyH834 they have sinnedH2398 against me; and I will pardonH5545 allH3605 their iniquities,H5771 wherebyH834 they have sinned,H2398 and wherebyH834 they have transgressedH6586 against me.
9
And it shall be to me a nameH8034 of joy,H8342 a praiseH8416 and an honorH8597 before allH3605 the nationsH1471 of the earth,H776 whichH834 shall hearH8085 allH3605 the goodH2896 that I doH6213 to them: and they shall fearH6342 and trembleH7264 for allH3605 the goodnessH2896 and for allH3605 the prosperityH7965 that I procureH6213 to it.
10
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORD;H3068 AgainH5750 there shall be heardH8085 in thisH2088 place,H4725 whichH834 you sayH559 shall be desolateH2717 withoutH369 manH120 and withoutH369 beast,H929 even in the citiesH5892 of Judah,H3063 and in the streetsH2351 of Jerusalem,H3389 that are desolate,H8074 withoutH369 man,H120 and withoutH369 inhabitant,H3427 and withoutH369 beast,H929
11
The voiceH6963 of joy,H8342 and the voiceH6963 of gladness,H8057 the voiceH6963 of the bridegroom,H2860 and the voiceH6963 of the bride,H3618 the voiceH6963 of them that shall say,H559 PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068 of hosts:H6635 for the LORDH3068 is good;H2896 for his mercyH2617 endures for ever:H5769 and of them that shall bringH935 the sacrifice of praiseH8426 into the houseH1004 of the LORD.H3068 For I will cause to returnH7725 the captivityH7622 of the land,H776 as at the first,H7223 saidH559 the LORD.H3068
12
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 of hosts;H6635 AgainH5750 in thisH2088 place,H4725 which is desolateH2717 withoutH369 H5704 manH120 and withoutH369 H5704 beast,H929 and in allH3605 the citiesH5892 thereof, shall be an habitationH5116 of shepherdsH7462 causing their flocksH6629 to lieH7257 down.H7901
13
In the citiesH5892 of the mountains,H2022 in the citiesH5892 of the vale,H8219 and in the citiesH5892 of the south,H5045 and in the landH776 of Benjamin,H1144 and in the places aboutH5439 Jerusalem,H3389 and in the citiesH5892 of Judah,H3063 shall the flocksH6629 passH5674 againH5750 underH5921 the handsH3027 of him that tellsH4487 them, saidH559 the LORD.H3068
14
Behold,H2009 the daysH3117 come,H935 saidH5002 the LORD,H3068 that I will performH6965 that goodH2896 thingH1697 whichH834 I have promisedH1696 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and to the houseH1004 of Judah.H3063
15
In thoseH1992 days,H3117 and at that time,H6256 will I cause the BranchH6780 of righteousnessH6666 to growH6779 up to David;H1732 and he shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666 in the land.H776
16
In thoseH1992 daysH3117 shall JudahH3063 be saved,H3467 and JerusalemH3389 shall dwellH7931 safely:H983 and thisH2088 is the name with whichH834 she shall be called,H7121 The LORDH3068 our righteousness.H6664
17
For thusH3541 saidH559 the LORD;H3068 DavidH1732 shall neverH3808 wantH3772 a manH376 to sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of the houseH1004 of Israel;H3478
18
NeitherH3808 shall the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 wantH3772 a manH376 beforeH6440 me to offerH5927 burntH5930 offerings, and to kindleH6999 meat offerings,H4503 and to doH6213 sacrificeH2077 continually.H3605 H3117
19
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to Jeremiah,H3414 saying,H559
20
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORD;H3068 IfH518 you can breakH6565 my covenantH1285 of the day,H3117 and my covenantH1285 of the night,H3915 and that there should not be dayH3119 and nightH3915 in their season;H6256
21
Then may alsoH1571 my covenantH1285 be brokenH6565 with DavidH1732 my servant,H5650 that he should not haveH1961 a sonH1121 to reignH4427 on his throne;H3678 and with the LevitesH3881 the priests,H3548 my ministers.H8334
22
As the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 cannotH3808 be numbered,H5608 neitherH3808 the sandH2344 of the seaH3220 measured:H4058 soH3651 will I multiplyH7235 the seedH2233 of DavidH1732 my servant,H5650 and the LevitesH3881 that ministerH8334 to me.
23
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to Jeremiah,H3414 saying,H559
24
ConsiderH7200 you not whatH4100 thisH2088 peopleH5971 have spoken,H1696 saying,H559 The twoH8147 familiesH4940 whichH834 the LORDH3068 has chosen,H977 he has even castH3988 them off? thus they have despisedH5006 my people,H5971 that they should be no moreH5750 a nationH1471 beforeH6440 them.
25
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORD;H3068 IfH518 my covenantH1285 be not with dayH3119 and night,H3915 and if I have not appointedH7760 the ordinancesH2708 of heavenH8064 and earth;H776
26
ThenH1571 will I castH3988 away the seedH2233 of Jacob H3290and DavidH1732 my servant,H5650 so that I will not takeH3947 any of his seedH2233 to be rulersH4910 overH413 the seedH2233 of Abraham,H85 Isaac,H3446 and Jacob:H3290 for I will cause their captivityH7622 to return,H7725 and have mercyH7355 on them.
