Restoration
Promised |
|
|
 |
| Jeremiah 33:1 |
|
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the
second time, while he was still confined in the court of the guard, saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:2 |
|
"Thus says the LORD who made the earth, the
LORD who formed it to establish it, the LORD is His name, |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:3 |
|
'Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will
tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.' |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:4 |
|
"For thus says the LORD God of Israel concerning
the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah which
are broken down to make a defense against the siege ramps and against the sword,
|
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:5 |
|
'While they are coming to fight with the Chaldeans
and to fill them with the corpses of men whom I have slain in My anger and in
My wrath, and I have hidden My face from this city because of all their wickedness: |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:6 |
|
'Behold, I will bring to it health and healing,
and I will heal them; and I will reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:7 |
|
'I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the
fortunes of Israel and will rebuild them as they were at first. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:8 |
|
'I will cleanse them from all their iniquity
by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by
which they have sinned against Me and by which they have transgressed against
Me. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:9 |
|
'It will be to Me a name of joy, praise and
glory before all the nations of the earth which will hear of all the good that
I do for them, and they will fear and tremble because of all the good and all
the peace that I make for it.' |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:10 |
|
"Thus says the LORD, 'Yet again there will be
heard in this place, of which you say, "It is a waste, without man and without
beast," that is, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are
desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast, |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:11 |
|
the voice of joy and the voice of gladness,
the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who
say, "Give thanks to the LORD of hosts, For the LORD is good, For His lovingkindness
is everlasting"; and of those who bring a thank offering into the house of the
LORD. For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were at first,' says
the LORD. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:12 |
|
"Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'There will again
be in this place which is waste, without man or beast, and in all its cities,
a habitation of shepherds who rest their flocks. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:13 |
|
'In the cities of the hill country, in the cities
of the lowland, in the cities of the Negev, in the land of Benjamin, in the environs
of Jerusalem and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the
hands of the one who numbers them,' says the LORD. |
| |
|

| |
|
The Davidic Kingdom |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:14 |
|
'Behold, days are coming,' declares the LORD,
'when I will fulfill the good word which I have spoken concerning the house of
Israel and the house of Judah. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:15 |
|
'In those days and at that time I will cause
a righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and He shall execute justice and
righteousness on the earth. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:16 |
|
'In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem
will dwell in safety; and this is the name by which she will be called: the LORD
is our righteousness.' |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:17 |
|
"For thus says the LORD, 'David shall never
lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:18 |
|
and the Levitical priests shall never lack a
man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to prepare
sacrifices continually.'" |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:19 |
|
The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
|
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:20 |
|
"Thus says the LORD, 'If you can break My covenant
for the day and My covenant for the night, so that day and night will not be at
their appointed time, |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:21 |
|
then My covenant may also be broken with David
My servant so that he will not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the
Levitical priests, My ministers. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:22 |
|
'As the host of heaven cannot be counted and
the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the descendants of
David My servant and the Levites who minister to Me.'" |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:23 |
|
And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:24 |
|
"Have you not observed what this people have
spoken, saying, 'The two families which the LORD chose, He has rejected them'?
Thus they despise My people, no longer are they as a nation in their sight. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:25 |
|
"Thus says the LORD, 'If My covenant for day
and night stand not, and the fixed patterns of heaven and earth I have not established, |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 33:26 |
|
then I would reject the descendants of Jacob
and David My servant, not taking from his descendants rulers over the descendants
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy
on them.'" |
