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.”

Israel’s Restoration
1While he was still confined in the guard’s courtyard, # Jr 32:2 the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time: 2“The Lord who made the earth, # LXX; MT reads made it the Lord who forms it to establish it, # Gn 2:18-19 Yahweh is His name, # Ex 6:3 says this: 3Call to Me and I will answer you # Ps 91:15; Jr 29:12 and tell you great and incomprehensible things you do not know. # Is 48:6 4For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says concerning the houses of this city and the palaces of Judah’s kings, the ones torn down for defense against the siege ramps and the sword: # Jr 32:24 5The people coming to fight the Chaldeans will fill the houses with the corpses of their own men that I strike down in My wrath and rage. I have hidden My face # Dt 31:17; 32:20; Is 54:8 from this city because of all their evil. 6Yet I will certainly bring health # Is 58:8; Jr 8:22; 30:17 and healing to it and will indeed heal them. I will let them experience the abundance # Or fragrance ; Hb obscure of peace and truth. # 2Kg 20:19; Est 9:30; Is 39:8 7I will restore the fortunes # Or will end the captivity of Judah and of Israel and will rebuild them as in former times. # Is 1:26 8I will purify them from all the wrongs they have committed against Me, # Ps 51:2; Ezk 36:25; Heb 9:11-14 and I will forgive all the wrongs they have committed against Me, rebelling against Me. 9This city will bear on My behalf a name of joy, praise, and glory # Dt 26:19; Jr 13:11; Zph 3:19-20 before all the nations of the earth, who will hear of all the good I will do for them. They will tremble with awe because of all the good and all the peace # Jr 8:15; 14:19 I will bring about for them.
10“This is what the Lord says: In this place, which you say is a ruin, # Jr 32:43 without man or beast — that is, in Judah’s cities and Jerusalem’s streets that are a desolation without man, without inhabitant, and without beast — there will be heard again 11a sound of joy and gladness, the voice of the groom and the bride, # Jr 7:34; 16:9; 25:10 and the voice of those saying,
Praise the Lord of Hosts,
for the Lord is good;
His faithful love endures forever
as they bring thank offerings to the temple of the Lord. For I will restore the fortunes # Or will end the captivity of the land as in former times, says the Lord.
12“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 a grazing land where shepherds may rest flocks. # Is 65:10; Ezk 34:12-15 13The flocks will again pass under the hands of the one who counts them # Lv 27:32 in the cities of the hill country, # Jr 17:26 the cities of the Judean foothills, the cities of the Negev, the land of Benjamin — the cities surrounding Jerusalem and Judah’s cities, says the Lord.
God’s Covenant with David
14“Look, the days are coming” —
this is the Lord’s declaration —
“when I will fulfill the good promises
that I have spoken
concerning the house of Israel
and the house of Judah. # Jos 21:45; Jr 23:5-6
15In those days and at that time
I will cause a Righteous Branch # Is 4:2; Zch 3:8
to sprout up for David,
and He will administer justice
and righteousness in the land.
16In those days Judah will be saved,
and Jerusalem will dwell securely, # Dt 33:12
and this is what she will be named:
Yahweh Our Righteousness.
17“For this is what the Lord says: David will never fail to have a man sitting on the throne of the house of Israel. # 1Kg 2:4; 8:25; 9:5 18The Levitical priests will never fail to have a man always before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to make sacrifices.” # Jr 31:36; 35:19
19The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 20“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 come at their regular time, # Gn 8:22; Is 54:9-10; Jr 31:35-37 21then also My covenant with My servant David # 2Sm 7:11-16; 2Ch 21:7; Ps 89:3 may be broken so that he will not have a son reigning on his throne, and the Levitical priests will not be My ministers. # Is 61:6; Ezk 45:4-5; Jl 1:9,13 22The hosts of heaven cannot be counted; the sand of the sea cannot be measured. # Gn 22:17 So, too, I will make the descendants of My servant David and the Levites who minister to Me innumerable.”
23The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 24“Have you not noticed what these people have said? They say, ‘The Lord has rejected the two families He had chosen.’ # Dt 7:6; 14:2 My people are treated with contempt and no longer regarded as a nation among them. 25This is what the Lord says: If I do not keep My covenant with the day and with the night and fail to establish the fixed order of heaven and earth, # Ps 74:16-17 26then I might also reject the seed of Jacob and of My servant David — not taking from his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Instead, I will restore their fortunes # Or Instead, I will end their captivity and have compassion on them.” # Jr 12:15; 30:18; 31:20; 33:7; 42:12
