chapter 33
1
And
the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the second time, while he was yet shut up
in the court of the prison, saying:
2 Thus saith the Lord, who will do, and will form it,
and prepare it, the Lord is his name.
3 Cry to me and I will hear thee: and I will shew thee
great things, and sure things which thou knowest not.
4 For thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to the
houses of this city, and to the houses of the king of Juda, which rue
destroyed, and to the bulwarks, and to the sword.
5 Of 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.
6 Behold 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.
7 And I will bring back the captivity of Juda, and the
captivity of Jerusalem: and I will build them as from the beginning.
8 And 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.
9 And 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.
10 Thus 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)
11 The 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.
12 Thus 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.
13 And 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.
14 Behold 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.
15 In 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.
16 In 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.
17 For thus saith the Lord: There shall not be cut off
from David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel.
18 Neither 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:
19 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
20 Thus 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:
21 Also 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.
22 As 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.
23 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
24 Hast 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?
25 Thus saith the Lord: If I have not set my covenant
between day and night, and laws to heaven and earth:
26 Surely 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.
