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,

Thus saith

the LORD

the maker

thereof, the LORD

that formed

it, to establish

it; the LORD

is his name;

Call

unto me, and I will answer

thee, and shew

thee great

and mighty things,

which thou knowest

not.

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;

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.

Behold, I will bring

it health

and cure,

and I will cure

them, and will reveal

unto 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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For thus saith

the LORD;

David

shall never

want

a man

to sit

upon the throne

of the house

of Israel;

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.

And the word

of the LORD

came unto Jeremiah,

saying,

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;

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.

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.

Moreover the word

of the LORD

came to Jeremiah,

saying,

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.

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;

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.
