* Moreover the word of LORD came to Jeremiah the second time , while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard , saying , * Thus says LORD who does it , LORD who forms it to establish it ; LORD is his name : * Call to me , and I will answer thee , and will show thee great things , and difficult , which thou know not . * For thus says LORD , the God of Israel , concerning the houses of this city , and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah , which are broken down [to defend ] against the mounds and against the sword , * while [men ] come to fight with the Chaldeans , and to fill them with the dead bodies of men , whom I have slain in my anger and in my wrath , and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city : * Behold , I will bring it health and cure , and I will cure them . And I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth . * And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return , and will build them as at the first . * And 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 . * And [this city ] shall be to me for a name of joy , for a praise and for a glory , before all the nations of the earth , which shall hear all the good that I do to them , and shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace * Thus says LORD : Yet again there shall be heard in this place--of which ye say , It is waste , without man and without beast , even in the cities of Judah , and in the streets of Jerusalem , that are desolate , without man and without inh * 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 LORD of hosts , for LORD is good , for his loving kindness [is ] forever , [and of those ] wh * Thus says LORD of hosts : Yet again there shall be in this place , which is waste , without man and without beast , and in all the cities thereof , a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lay down . * In the cities of the hill-country , in the cities of the lowland , and in the cities of the South , and in the land of Benjamin , and in the places around Jerusalem , and in the cities of Judah , the flocks shall again pass under the han * Behold , the days come , says LORD , that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah . * In those days , and at that time , I will cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David , and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land . * In those days Judah shall be saved , and Jerusalem shall dwell safely . And this is [the name ] whereby she shall be called : LORD our righteousness . * For thus says LORD : David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel , * neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt-offerings , and to burn meal-offerings , and to do sacrifice continually . * And the word of LORD came to Jeremiah , saying , * Thus says LORD : If ye can break my covenant of the day , and my covenant of the night , so that there shall not be day and night in their season , * then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant , that he shall not have a son to reign upon his throne , and with the Levites the priests , my ministers . * As the host of heaven cannot be numbered , neither the sand of the sea measured , so I will multiply the seed of David my servant , and the Levites that minister to me . * And the word of LORD came to Jeremiah , saying , * Consider thou not what this people have spoken , saying , The two families which LORD chose , he has cast them off ? Thus they despise my people , that they should be no more a nation before them . * Thus says LORD : If my covenant of day and night [stand ] not , if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth , * then I will also cast away the seed of Jacob , and of David my servant , so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham , Isaac , and Jacob . For I will cause their captivity to return , and will have mercy on
