Moreover
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
unto
Jeremiah
the
second
time,
while he
was yet
shut
up
in the court
of the guard, saying,
While Jeremiah
was still
confined
in the courtyard
of the guard, the
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
him
a
second
time:
Thus saith
Jehovah
that
doeth
it
, Jehovah
that
formeth
it to
establish
it ;
Jehovah
is his name:
“
Thus says
the
LORD
who
made
the
earth
, the
LORD
who
formed
it and
established
it ,
the
LORD
is His name:
Call unto
me, and I will answer thee,
and will
show thee
great things,
and difficult,
which
thou
knowest
not.
Call to
Me, and I will answer and show you
great and unsearchable
things
you
do
not know
.
For thus
saith
Jehovah
, the God of Israel, concerning
the houses of this city ,
and concerning
the houses
of the kings of Judah ,
which
are
broken
down `to
make
a
defence'
against the mounds
and against
the sword ;
For this
is
what
the
LORD
, the God of Israel, says
about
the houses of this city and the palaces
of the kings of Judah that
have
been
torn
down for
defense
against the siege
ramps
and the sword :
while
`men'
come
to
fight
with
the Chaldeans ,
and to fill them
with the dead
bodies
of men ,
whom
I have
slain
in mine
anger and in my wrath ,
and
for
all
whose
wickedness
I have hid
my face from this city :
The Chaldeans are
coming
to
fight
and to fill those
places
with the corpses
of the
men I will
strike
down
in My
anger and in My wrath .
I have hidden
My face from this city because
of
all
its
wickedness.
Behold
, I will bring it health and cure
, and I will cure
them;
and I
will
reveal unto
them abundance of peace and truth.
Nevertheless
, I will bring to
it health and healing
, and I will heal
its
people
and reveal to
them the
abundance of peace and truth.
And
I will cause
the
captivity
of
Judah and the
captivity
of
Israel to
return,
and will build
them ,
as at
the
first
.
I will restore
Judah and Israel from
captivity
and will rebuild
them as in
former
times
.
And I will cleanse them from all their
iniquity ,
whereby
they have sinned
against me ;
and I
will pardon
all their iniquities,
whereby
they
have
sinned
against
me,
and
whereby
they
have
transgressed
against me.
And I will cleanse them from all the
iniquity they have committed
against Me ,
and will forgive
all their sins
of
rebellion
against Me.
And
`
this city '
shall
be
to
me for
a
name
of
joy, for
a
praise and for
a
glory ,
before all the nations of the earth, which
shall
hear all the good that
I do unto
them,
and
shall
fear
and
tremble
for all the good
and for
all
the
peace
that I procure
unto
it.
So
this city will
bring
Me renown,
joy, praise ,
and glory before all the nations of the earth, who
will
hear of
all the good I do for it.
They
will
tremble
in
awe
because
of
all the goodness
and prosperity
that I will
provide
for
it.
Thus
saith
Jehovah
: Yet
again
there
shall
be
heard
in this place ,
whereof
ye
say ,
It
is waste,
without man and
without
beast, even
in the cities of Judah ,
and in the streets of Jerusalem ,
that are desolate,
without
man and
without
inhabitant
and
without
beast ,
This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: In this place you
say is a
wasteland
without man or
beast, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted—inhabited
by
neither
man nor
beast —there
will
be
heard
again
the voice
of joy and the
voice
of
gladness, the voice
of the bridegroom and the voice
of the
bride,
the voice
of them
that
say
, Give thanks to Jehovah
of hosts, for Jehovah
is good ,
for
his
lovingkindness
`endureth'
for
ever
; `and
of
them'
that
bring
`sacrifices
of'
thanksgiving
into
the
house
of
Jehovah
. For I will cause
the
captivity
of
the land to
return
as at
the
first
, saith
Jehovah
.
the sounds
of joy and gladness, the voices
of the bride
and
bridegroom ,
and the voices
of those
bringing
thank
offerings
into
the house
of the
LORD
, saying:
‘
Give thanks to the
LORD
of Hosts, for the
LORD
is good; His
loving
devotion
endures
forever
. ’
For I will restore
the land from
captivity
as in
former
times
, says
the
LORD
.
Thus
saith
Jehovah
of hosts: Yet
again
shall
there
be
in this place, which
is
waste,
without man and
without
beast, and in all the
cities thereof
, a
habitation
of
shepherds causing
their flocks to
lie
down
.
This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: In this desolate
place, without man or
beast, and in all its
cities, there
will
once
more
be
pastures
for
shepherds to
rest
their flocks.
In the cities of the hill -
country, in
the cities
of
the
lowland
, and in
the cities
of
the
South
, and
in the land of Benjamin ,
and in
the places
about
Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall
the flocks again pass under the hands of him
that
numbereth
them, saith
Jehovah
.
In the cities of the hill country, the foothills
, and the Negev
, in the land of Benjamin and the cities
surrounding
Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will
again pass under the hands of the
one
who
counts
them, says
the
LORD
.
Behold, the days come
, saith
Jehovah
, that
I will perform
that good
word
which
I have spoken concerning
the house of Israel and concerning
the house of Judah.
Behold, the days are
coming
, declares
the
LORD
, when
I will fulfill
the
gracious
promise
that I have spoken to
the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
In those days ,
and at that time ,
will
I cause a
Branch
of
righteousness
to grow
up
unto
David ;
and he shall
execute
justice and righteousness in the land.
In those days and at that time I will
cause to sprout
for
David a
righteous
Branch,
and He will
administer
justice and righteousness in the land.
In those days shall
Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall
dwell safely;
and this is `
the name '
whereby
she
shall
be called: Jehovah
our righteousness.
In those days Judah will
be saved, and Jerusalem will
dwell securely,
and this is the name by
which
it
will
be called: The
LORD
Our Righteousness.
For thus
saith
Jehovah
: David shall
never want
a man to sit upon
the throne of the house of Israel ;
For this
is
what
the
LORD
says
: David will
never lack
a man to sit on
the throne of the house of Israel ,
neither
shall
the priests the
Levites want
a man before me to offer burnt -
offerings, and
to burn meal-
offerings, and to do
sacrifice
continually
.
nor
will
the priests who
are
Levites ever
fail
to
have
a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain
offerings, and to present
sacrifices
. ”
And the word of Jehovah
came unto
Jeremiah ,
saying,
And the word of the
LORD
came to
Jeremiah :
Thus
saith
Jehovah
: If ye
can break my covenant of
the day ,
and my covenant of
the night, so that there
shall
not
be
day and night in
their season;
“This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: If you
can break My covenant with
the day and My covenant with
the night, so that day and night cease
to
occupy
their appointed
time,
then may
also
my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he
shall
not have a son to reign upon
his throne ;
and
with
the
Levites
the
priests,
my
ministers
.
then My covenant may
also
be broken with David My servant and
with
My
ministers
the
Levites
who
are
priests
, so
that David
will
not have a son to reign on
his throne.
As the host
of heaven cannot be numbered,
neither
the sand of
the sea
measured ;
so will I multiply the seed
of David
my servant ,
and the Levites that
minister unto
me.
As the hosts
of heaven cannot be counted
and
as
the sand on
the seashore
cannot
be
measured ,
so too
will I multiply the descendants
of My servant David
and the Levites who
minister before
Me. ”
And
the word of Jehovah
came to Jeremiah ,
saying,
Moreover,
the word of the
LORD
came to Jeremiah :
Considerest
thou
not what this
people have
spoken,
saying ,
The two families which
Jehovah
did
choose,
he hath
cast
them
off
? thus
do
they despise my people ,
that
they
should
be
no more
a nation before
them
.
“Have
you
not noticed
what these
people are
saying :
‘
The LORD
has
rejected
the
two families He had
chosen’
? So
they despise My people and
no longer
regard
them
as
a nation.
Thus
saith
Jehovah
: If my covenant of
day and night `stand'
not,
if
I
have
not
appointed
the ordinances
of heaven and earth ;
This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: If I
have
not
established
My covenant with
the
day and the
night and
the fixed
order
of heaven and earth ,
then will
I also cast
away
the seed
of Jacob ,
and of David
my servant, so that
I
will
not take of
his seed
to
be
rulers over the seed
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob :
for I will cause
their
captivity to
return,
and will have mercy
on them.
then I would
also reject
the descendants
of Jacob and of My servant David
, so as
not to
take from
his descendants
rulers over the descendants
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob .
For I will restore
them
from
captivity and will have compassion
on them. ”
