Jeremias (Jeremiah) 33
33
1And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying:
2Thus saith the Lord, who will do and will form it and prepare it. The Lord is his name.
3Cry to me and I will hear thee: and I will shew thee great things, and sure things which thou knowest not.
4For thus saith the Lord the God of Israel, to the houses of this city and to the houses of the king of Juda which are destroyed and to the bulwarks and to the sword.
5Of them that come to fight with the Chaldeans and to fill them with the dead bodies of the men whom I have slain in my wrath and in my indignation, hiding my face from this city because of all their wickedness.
6Behold, I will close their wounds and give them health, and I will cure them: and I will reveal to them the prayer of peace and truth.
7And I will bring back the captivity of Juda and the captivity of Jerusalem: and I will build them as from the beginning.
8And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity whereby they have sinned against me: and I will forgive all their iniquities whereby they have sinned against me and despised me.
9And it shall be to me a name and a joy and a praise and a gladness before all the nations of the earth that shall hear of all the good things which I will do to them: and they shall fear and be troubled for all the good things and for all the peace that I will make for them.
10Thus saith the Lord: There shall be heard again in this place (which you say is desolate because there is neither man nor beast in the cities of Juda and without Jerusalem, which are desolate without man and without inhabitant and without beast).
11The 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: Give ye glory to the Lord of hosts, for the Lord is good, for his mercy endureth for ever. And of them that shall bring their vows into the house of the Lord: for I will bring back the captivity of the land as at the first, saith the Lord.
12Thus saith the Lord of hosts: There shall be again in this place that is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
13And in the cities on the mountains and in the cities of the plains and in the cities that are towards the south: and in the land of Benjamin and round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda shall the flocks pass again under the hand of him that numbereth them, saith the Lord.
14Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform the good word that I have spoken to the house of Israel and to the house of Juda.
15In those days and at that time, I will make the bud of justice to spring forth unto David and he shall do judgment and justice in the earth.
16In those days shall Juda be saved and Jerusalem shall dwell securely. And this is the name that they shall call him. The Lord Our Just One.
17For thus saith the Lord: There shall not be cut off from David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel.
18Neither shall there be cut off from the priests and Levites a man before my face to offer holocausts and to burn sacrifices and to kill victims continually.
19And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
20Thus saith the Lord: If my covenant with the day can be made void, and my covenant with the night, that there should not be day and night in their season:
21Also my covenant with David my servant may be made void, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne, and with the Levites and priests, my ministers.
22As the stars of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea be measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant and the Levites my ministers.
23And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
24Hast thou not seen what this people hath spoken, saying: The two families which the Lord had chosen are cast off: and they have despised my people, so that it is no more a nation before them?
25Thus saith the Lord: If I have not set my covenant between day and night, and laws to heaven and earth:
26Surely I will also cast off the seed of Jacob and of David my servant, so as not to take any of his seed to be rulers of the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For I will bring back their captivity and will have mercy on them.

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.”
