1 More­over the word of the LORD came unto Jeremi­ah the sec­ond time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, say­ing, 2 Thus saith the LORD the mak­er there­of, the LORD that formed it, to es­tab­lish it; the LORD is his name; 3 Call unto me, and I will an­swer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou know­est not. 4 For thus saith the LORD, the God of Is­rael, con­cern­ing the hous­es of this city, and con­cern­ing the hous­es of the kings of Ju­dah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword; 5 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bod­ies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wicked­ness I have hid my face from this city. 6 Be­hold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will re­veal unto 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 the first. 8 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, and where­by they have trans­gressed against me. 9 And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an hon­our be­fore all the na­tions of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and trem­ble for all the good­ness and for all the pros­per­i­ty that I pro­cure unto it. 10 Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be des­o­late 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, 11 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 shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mer­cy endureth for ev­er: and of them that shall bring the sac­ri­fice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to re­turn the cap­tiv­i­ty of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD. 12 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is des­o­late with­out man and with­out beast, and in all the cities there­of, shall be an habi­ta­tion of shep­herds caus­ing their flocks to lie down. 13 In the cities of the moun­tains, in the cities of the vale, 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 pass again un­der the hands of him that tel­leth them, saith the LORD. 14 Be­hold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will per­form that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Is­rael and to the house of Ju­dah. 15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righ­teous­ness to grow up unto David; and he shall ex­e­cute judg­ment and righ­teous­ness in the land. 16 In those days shall Ju­dah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safe­ly: and this is the name where­with she shall be called, The LORD our righ­teous­ness. 17 For thus saith the LORD; David shall nev­er want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Is­rael; 18 Nei­ther shall the priests the Levites want a man be­fore me to of­fer burnt of­fer­ings, and to kin­dle meat of­fer­ings, and to do sac­ri­fice con­tin­u­al­ly. 19 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremi­ah, say­ing, 20 Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their sea­son; 21 Then may also my covenant be bro­ken with David my ser­vant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my min­is­ters. 22 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. 23 More­over the word of the LORD came to Jeremi­ah, say­ing, 24 Con­sid­er­est thou not what this peo­ple have spo­ken, say­ing, The two fam­i­lies which the LORD hath cho­sen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have de­spised my peo­ple, that they should be no more a na­tion be­fore them. 25 Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not ap­point­ed the or­di­nances of heav­en and earth; 26 Then will I cast away the seed of Ja­cob, and David my ser­vant, so that I will not take any of his seed ­to be rulers over the seed of Abra­ham, Isaac, and Ja­cob: for I will cause their cap­tiv­i­ty to re­turn, and have mer­cy on them.
