Jeremiah 33
33
The Secret of Redemption
1Then the word of Adonai came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still confined in the guard’s courtyard, saying:
2Thus says Adonai the Maker, Adonai who formed it to make it firm —Adonai is His Name.
3“Call to Me, and I will answer you— I will tell you great and hidden things, which you do not know.”
4For thus says Adonai, the God of Israel: “Concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are torn down against the siege ramps and against the sword,
5they are coming to fight with the Chaldeans, but they are about to fill them with the dead bodies of the people whom I will slay in My anger and in My fury. I have hidden My face from this city because of all their wickedness.
6“Indeed, I will bring it health and healing, and I will surely heal them. I will reveal to them an abundance of shalom and truth.
7I will restore Judah from exile and Israel from exile, and will rebuild them, as in former times.
8I will also cleanse them from all their iniquity in which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their wrongs in which they have sinned against Me and in which they have rebelled against Me.
9“Then this city will be to Me for a name of joy, praise and glory before all the nations of the earth, which will hear all the good that I do for them, so they will fear and tremble because of all the good and for all the shalom that I do for it.”
Voice of the Bridegroom
10Thus says Adonai: “Yet again in this place—which you are saying is a waste without man or beast, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem the desolate, without man, without inhabitant and without beast—there will be heard
11the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them who say: ‘Give thanks to Adonai-Tzva’ot, for Adonai is good, for His love endures forever!’ as they bring offerings of thanksgiving into the House of Adonai. For I will restore the land from the exile as it was at first,” declares Adonai.
12Thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot: “Yet again will there be in this place, which is waste, without man and without beast, and in all its cities, a pasture of shepherds making their flocks lie down.
13In the towns of the hill country, in the towns of the foothills, in the towns of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, will the flocks again pass under the hands of one who counts them,” declares Adonai.
Righteous Branch of David
14“Behold, days are coming” —it is a declaration of Adonai— “when I will fulfill the good word I spoke concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.
15In those days and at that time, I will cause a Branch of Righteousness to spring up for David, and He will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
16In those days will Judah be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. And this is the Name by which He will be called: Adonai our Righteousness.”
17For thus says Adonai: “For David, there will not be cut off a man sitting on the throne of the house of Israel,
18nor will the Levitical kohanim ever lack a man before Me to offer burnt offering, to burn grain offerings and to make sacrifices continually.”
19And the word of Adonai came to Jeremiah, saying,
20thus says Adonai: “If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night would not be at in their appointed time,
21only then may My covenant be broken with My servant David, that he would not have a son to reign on his throne, and the Levitical kohanim would not be My ministers.
22As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David My servant, and the Levites who minister to Me.”
23The word of Adonai came to Jeremiah, saying:
24“Have you not noticed what this people have spoken, saying: ‘The two families which Adonai did choose, He has rejected them’? Thus they despise My people—no longer a nation before them.”
25Thus says Adonai: “If I have not made My covenant of day and night firm, and the fixed patterns ordering the heavens and earth,
26only then would I reject the offspring of Jacob, and of My servant David so that I would not take from his offspring rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore them from their exile, and have compassion on them.”

Jeremiah 33
33
The Lord Promises Peace
1The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still #See ch. 32:2shut up in the court of the guard: 2“Thus says #[Isa. 37:26] the Lord who made the earth,#33:2 Septuagint; Hebrew it the Lord who formed it to establish it—#[ch. 16:21; Ex. 6:3; Ps. 83:18; Amos 4:13]the Lord is his name: 3#ch. 29:12; Ps. 91:15 Call to me and I will answer you, #Isa. 48:6and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. 4For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the kings of Judah that were torn down to make a defense against #ch. 32:24the siege mounds and against the sword: 5They are coming in #[ch. 32:5] to fight against the Chaldeans and to fill them#33:5 That is, the torn-down houses with the dead bodies of men whom I shall strike down #Ezek. 22:20 in my anger and my wrath, #Deut. 31:17, 18for I have hidden my face from this city because of all their evil. 6#ch. 30:17Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security. 7#See ch. 30:3 I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel, #See ch. 24:6 and rebuild them as they were #Isa. 1:26at first. 8#Ezek. 36:25; [Ps. 51:2, 7; Heb. 9:13, 14] I will cleanse them from all the guilt of their sin against me, #See ch. 31:34and I will forgive all the guilt of their sin and rebellion against me. 9#See ch. 13:11 And this city#33:9 Hebrew And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth who shall hear of all the good that I do for them. They shall #[Ps. 130:4; Isa. 60:5]fear and tremble because of all the good and all the prosperity I provide for it.
10“Thus says the Lord: In this place #ch. 32:43of which you say, ‘It is a waste without man or beast,’ in the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man or inhabitant or beast, there shall be heard again 11#See ch. 7:34 the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who sing, as they bring #1 Chr. 16:34; Ps. 106:1; 107:1; Isa. 12:4 thank offerings to the house of the Lord:
# ch. 30:19; Lev. 7:12; Ps. 107:22 “‘Give thanks to the Lord of hosts,
for the Lord is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!’
# [See ver. 7 above] For I will restore the fortunes of the land as at first, says the Lord.
12“Thus says the Lord of hosts: #[Ezek. 36:11] In this place that is waste, without man or beast, and in all of its cities, there shall again be #[ch. 31:24; 50:19; Isa. 65:10; Ezek. 34:14, 15] habitations of shepherds #Song 1:7resting their flocks. 13#See ch. 17:26 In the cities of the hill country, #See ch. 17:26 in the cities of the Shephelah, #See ch. 17:26 and in the cities of the Negeb, in the land of Benjamin, #See ch. 17:26 the places about Jerusalem, #See ch. 17:26 and in the cities of Judah, #[Lev. 27:32] flocks shall again pass under the hands #[John 10:3]of the one who counts them, says the Lord.
The Lord’s Eternal Covenant with David
14 # For ver. 14-16, see ch. 23:5, 6 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when #ch. 29:10I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 15In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous #ch. 23:5; [Isa. 4:2; 11:1]Branch to spring up for David, and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. 16In those days Judah will be saved, #ch. 23:6; 32:37 and Jerusalem will dwell securely. And this is the name by which it will be called: #ch. 23:6‘The Lord is our righteousness.’
17“For thus says the Lord: #2 Sam. 7:16; 1 Kgs. 2:4; Ps. 89:3, 4David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel, 18#[Isa. 66:21]and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man in my presence to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to make sacrifices forever.”
19The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 20#For ver. 20-26, see ch. 31:36, 37 “Thus says the Lord: #ver. 25; [Isa. 54:9] If you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, #Gen. 8:22; Ps. 72:5so that day and night will not come at their appointed time, 21#Ps. 89:34then also my covenant with David my servant may be broken, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and my covenant with the Levitical priests my ministers. 22As #Gen. 22:17the host of heaven cannot be numbered and #Gen. 22:17the sands of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant, and the Levitical priests who minister to me.”
23The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 24“Have you not observed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two clans that he chose’? Thus they have despised my people so that they are no longer a nation in their sight. 25Thus says the Lord: #Ps. 74:16, 17; 104:19If I have not established my covenant with day and night and the fixed order of heaven and earth, 26then I will reject the offspring of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his offspring to rule over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. #ver. 7, 11; See ch. 30:3For I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy on them.”
