ASV_Strong : Jeremiah 33
1. Moreover the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came unto Jeremiah[H3414] the second[H8145] time[H6113], while he was yet shut up in the court[H2691] of the guard[H4307], saying[H559],
2. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068] that doeth[H6213] it[H3068], Jehovah that formeth[H3335] it to establish[H3559] it[H3068]; Jehovah is his name[H8034]:
3. Call[H7121] unto me[H6030], and I will answer thee[H5046], and will show thee great[H1419] things[H1219], and difficult[H3045], which thou knowest not.
4. For thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478], concerning the houses[H1004] of this city[H5892], and concerning the houses[H1004] of the kings[H4428] of Judah[H3063], which are broken down[H5422] to make a defence against the mounds[H5550] and against the sword[H2719];
5. while men come[H935] to fight[H3898] with the Chaldeans[H3778], and to fill[H4390] them with the dead bodies[H6297] of men[H120], whom I have slain[H5221] in mine anger[H639] and in my wrath[H2534], and for all whose wickedness[H7451] I have hid[H5641] my face[H6440] from this city[H5892]:
6. Behold[H5927], I will bring it health[H724] and cure[H4832], and I will cure[H7495] them[H1540]; and I will reveal unto them abundance[H6283] of peace[H7965] and truth[H571].
7. And I will cause the captivity[H7622] of Judah[H3063] and the captivity[H7622] of Israel[H3478] to return[H7725], and will build[H1129] them[H7223], as at the first.
8. And I will cleanse[H2891] them from all their iniquity[H5771], whereby they have sinned[H2398] against me[H5545]; and I will pardon all their iniquities[H5771], whereby they have sinned[H2398] against me[H6586], and whereby they have transgressed against me.
9. And this city shall be to me for a name[H8034] of joy[H8342], for a praise[H8416] and for a glory[H8597], before all the nations[H1471] of the earth[H776], which shall hear[H8085] all the good[H2896] that I do[H6213] unto them[H6342], and shall fear and tremble[H7264] for all the good[H2896] and for all the peace[H7965] that I procure unto it[H6213].
10. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068]: Yet again there shall be heard[H8085] in this place[H4725], whereof ye say[H559], It is waste[H2720], without man[H120] and without beast[H929], even in the cities[H5892] of Judah[H3063], and in the streets[H2351] of Jerusalem[H3389], that are desolate[H8074], without man[H120] and without inhabitant[H3427] and without 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 say[H559], Give thanks[H3034] to Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635], for Jehovah[H3068] is good[H2896], for his lovingkindness[H2617] endureth for ever[H5769]; and of them that bring[H935] sacrifices of thanksgiving[H8426] into the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068]. For I will cause the captivity[H7622] of the land[H776] to return[H7725] as at the first[H7223], saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068].
12. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635]: Yet again shall there be in this place[H4725], which is waste[H2720], without man[H120] and without beast[H929], and in all the cities[H5892] thereof[H5116], a habitation of shepherds[H7462] causing their flocks[H6629] to lie down[H7257].
13. In the cities[H5892] of the hill-country[H2022], in the cities[H5892] of the lowland[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] again[H5674] pass under the hands[H3027] of him that numbereth[H4487] them[H559], saith Jehovah[H3068].
14. Behold[H3117], the days come[H935], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068], that I will perform[H6965] that good[H2896] word[H1697] which I have spoken[H1696] concerning the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478] and concerning the house[H1004] of Judah[H3063].
15. In those days[H3117], and at that time[H6256], will I cause a Branch[H6780] of righteousness[H6666] to grow up[H6779] unto David[H1732]; and he shall execute[H6213] justice[H4941] and righteousness[H6666] in the land[H776].
16. In those days[H3117] shall Judah[H3063] be saved[H3467], and Jerusalem[H3389] shall dwell[H7931] safely[H983]; and this is the name whereby she shall be called[H7121]: Jehovah our righteousness[H3072].
17. For thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068]: David[H1732] shall never[H3808] want[H3772] a man[H376] to sit[H3427] upon the throne[H3678] of the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478];
18. neither shall the priests[H3548] the Levites[H3881] want[H3772] a man[H376] before[H6440] me to offer[H5927] burnt-offerings[H5930], and to burn[H6999] meal-offerings[H5930], and to do[H6213] sacrifice[H2077] continually[H3117].
19. And the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came unto Jeremiah[H3414], saying[H559],
20. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068]: If ye can break[H6565] my covenant[H1285] of the day[H3117], and my covenant[H1285] of the night[H3915], so that there shall not be day[H3119] and night[H3915] in their season[H6256];
21. then may also my covenant[H1285] be broken[H6565] with David[H1732] my servant[H5650], that he shall not have a son[H1121] to reign[H4427] upon his throne[H3678]; and with the Levites[H3881] the priests[H3548], my ministers[H8334].
22. As the host[H6635] of heaven[H8064] cannot be numbered[H5608], neither the sand[H2344] of the sea[H3220] measured[H4058]; so will I multiply[H7235] the seed[H2233] of David[H1732] my servant[H5650], and the Levites[H3881] that minister unto me[H8334].
23. And the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came to Jeremiah[H3414], saying[H559],
24. Considerest[H7200] thou not what this people[H5971] have spoken[H1696], saying[H559], The two[H8147] families[H4940] which Jehovah[H3068] did choose[H977], he hath cast them off[H3988]? thus do they despise[H5006] my people[H5971], that they should be no more a nation[H1471] before them[H6440].
25. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068]: If my covenant[H1285] of day[H3119] and night[H3915] stand not[H7760], if I have not appointed the ordinances[H2708] of heaven[H8064] and earth[H776];
26. then[H1571] will I also cast away[H3988] the seed[H2233] of Jacob[H3290], and of David[H1732] my servant[H5650], so that I will not take[H3947] of his seed[H2233] to be rulers[H4910] over the seed[H2233] of Abraham[H85], Isaac[H3446], and Jacob[H3290]: for I will cause their captivity[H7622] to return[H7725], and will have mercy on them[H7355].
