Moreover the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068} came unto Jeremiah{H3414} the second{H8145} time, while he was yet shut up{H6113}{(H8803)} in the court{H2691} of the prison{H4307}, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} the maker{H6213}{(H8802)} thereof, the LORD{H3068} that formed{H3335}{(H8802)} it, to establish{H3559}{(H8687)} it; the LORD{H3068} is his name{H8034};

Call{H7121}{(H8798)} unto me, and I will answer{H6030}{(H8799)} thee, and shew{H5046}{(H8686)} thee great{H1419} and mighty things{H1219}{(H8803)}, which thou knowest{H3045}{(H8804)} not.

For thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}, the God{H430} of Israel{H3478}, concerning the houses{H1004} of this city{H5892}, and concerning the houses{H1004} of the kings{H4428} of Judah{H3063}, which are thrown down{H5422}{(H8803)} by the mounts{H5550}, and by the sword{H2719};

They come{H935}{(H8802)} to fight{H3898}{(H8736)} with the Chaldeans{H3778}, but it is to fill{H4390}{(H8763)} them with the dead bodies{H6297} of men{H120}, whom I have slain{H5221}{(H8689)} in mine anger{H639} and in my fury{H2534}, and for all whose wickedness{H7451} I have hid{H5641}{(H8689)} my face{H6440} from this city{H5892}.

Behold, I will bring{H5927}{(H8688)} it health{H724} and cure{H4832}, and I will cure{H7495}{(H8804)} them, and will reveal{H1540}{(H8765)} unto them the abundance{H6283} of peace{H7965} and truth{H571}.

And I will cause the captivity{H7622} of Judah{H3063} and the captivity{H7622} of Israel{H3478} to return{H7725}{(H8689)}, and will build{H1129}{(H8804)} them, as at the first{H7223}.

And I will cleanse{H2891}{(H8765)} them from all their iniquity{H5771}, whereby they have sinned{H2398}{(H8804)} against me; and I will pardon{H5545}{(H8804)} all their iniquities{H5771}, whereby they have sinned{H2398}{(H8804)}, and whereby they have transgressed{H6586}{(H8804)} against me.

And it shall be to me a name{H8034} of joy{H8342}, a praise{H8416} and an honour{H8597} before all the nations{H1471} of the earth{H776}, which shall hear{H8085}{(H8799)} all the good{H2896} that I do{H6213}{(H8802)} unto them: and they shall fear{H6342}{(H8804)} and tremble{H7264}{(H8804)} for all the goodness{H2896} and for all the prosperity{H7965} that I procure{H6213}{(H8802)} unto it.

Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; Again there shall be heard{H8085}{(H8735)} in this place{H4725}, which ye say{H559}{(H8802)} shall be desolate{H2720} without man{H120} and without beast{H929}, even in the cities{H5892} of Judah{H3063}, and in the streets{H2351} of Jerusalem{H3389}, that are desolate{H8074}{(H8737)}, without man{H120}, and without inhabitant{H3427}{(H8802)}, and without beast{H929},

The voice{H6963} of joy{H8342}, and the voice{H6963} of gladness{H8057}, the voice{H6963} of the bridegroom{H2860}, and the voice{H6963} of the bride{H3618}, the voice{H6963} of them that shall say{H559}{(H8802)}, Praise{H3034}{(H8685)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}: for the LORD{H3068} is good{H2896}; for his mercy{H2617} endureth for ever{H5769}: and of them that shall bring{H935}{(H8688)} the sacrifice of praise{H8426} into the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}. For I will cause to return{H7725}{(H8686)} the captivity{H7622} of the land{H776}, as at the first{H7223}, saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}.

Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}; Again in this place{H4725}, which is desolate{H2720} without man{H120} and without beast{H929}, and in all the cities{H5892} thereof, shall be an habitation{H5116} of shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)} causing their flocks{H6629} to lie down{H7257}{(H8688)}.

In the cities{H5892} of the mountains{H2022}, in the cities{H5892} of the vale{H8219}, and in the cities{H5892} of the south{H5045}, and in the land{H776} of Benjamin{H1144}, and in the places about{H5439} Jerusalem{H3389}, and in the cities{H5892} of Judah{H3063}, shall the flocks{H6629} pass again{H5674}{(H8799)} under the hands{H3027} of him that telleth{H4487}{(H8802)} them, saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}.

Behold, the days{H3117} come{H935}{(H8802)}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, that I will perform{H6965}{(H8689)} that good{H2896} thing{H1697} which I have promised{H1696}{(H8765)} unto the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} and to the house{H1004} of Judah{H3063}.

In those days{H3117}, and at that time{H6256}, will I cause the Branch{H6780} of righteousness{H6666} to grow up{H6779}{(H8686)} unto David{H1732}; and he shall execute{H6213}{(H8804)} judgment{H4941} and righteousness{H6666} in the land{H776}.

In those days{H3117} shall Judah{H3063} be saved{H3467}{(H8735)}, and Jerusalem{H3389} shall dwell{H7931}{(H8799)} safely{H983}: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called{H7121}{(H8799)}, The LORD our righteousness{H3072}.

For thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; David{H1732} shall never{H3808} want{H3772}{(H8735)} a man{H376} to sit{H3427}{(H8802)} upon the throne{H3678} of the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478};

Neither shall the priests{H3548} the Levites{H3881} want{H3772}{(H8735)} a man{H376} before{H6440} me to offer{H5927}{(H8688)} burnt offerings{H5930}, and to kindle{H6999}{(H8688)} meat offerings{H4503}, and to do{H6213}{(H8802)} sacrifice{H2077} continually{H3117}.

And the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068} came unto Jeremiah{H3414}, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; If ye can break{H6565}{(H8686)} my covenant{H1285} of the day{H3117}, and my covenant{H1285} of the night{H3915}, and that there should not be day{H3119} and night{H3915} in their season{H6256};

Then may also my covenant{H1285} be broken{H6565}{(H8714)} with David{H1732} my servant{H5650}, that he should not have a son{H1121} to reign{H4427}{(H8802)} upon his throne{H3678}; and with the Levites{H3881} the priests{H3548}, my ministers{H8334}{(H8764)}.

As the host{H6635} of heaven{H8064} cannot be numbered{H5608}{(H8735)}, neither the sand{H2344} of the sea{H3220} measured{H4058}{(H8735)}: so will I multiply{H7235}{(H8686)} the seed{H2233} of David{H1732} my servant{H5650}, and the Levites{H3881} that minister{H8334}{(H8764)} unto me.

Moreover the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068} came to Jeremiah{H3414}, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

Considerest{H7200}{(H8804)} thou not what this people{H5971} have spoken{H1696}{(H8765)}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, The two{H8147} families{H4940} which the LORD{H3068} hath chosen{H977}{(H8804)}, he hath even cast them off{H3988}{(H8799)}? thus they have despised{H5006}{(H8799)} my people{H5971}, that they should be no more a nation{H1471} before{H6440} them.

Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; If my covenant{H1285} be not with day{H3119} and night{H3915}, and if I have not appointed{H7760}{(H8804)} the ordinances{H2708} of heaven{H8064} and earth{H776};

Then{H1571} will I cast away{H3988}{(H8799)} the seed{H2233} of Jacob{H3290}, and David{H1732} my servant{H5650}, so that I will not take{H3947}{(H8800)} any of his seed{H2233} to be rulers{H4910}{(H8802)} over the seed{H2233} of Abraham{H85}, Isaac{H3446}, and Jacob{H3290}: for I will cause their captivity{H7622} to return{H7725}{(H8686)}{(H8675)}{H7725}{(H8799)}, and have mercy{H7355}{(H8765)} on them.
