* Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard , saying , * Thus hath said the LORD that makes it , the LORD that forms it to establish it ; the LORD [is ] his name ; * Call unto me , and I will answer thee and show thee great and difficult things , which thou dost not know . * For thus hath the LORD the God of Israel said concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah , which are thrown down by the siege engines and by the sword * (because they came to fight with the Chaldeans , to fill them with the dead bodies of men , whom I have slain in my anger and in my fury and because I hid my face from this city due to all her wickedness ): * behold , I will bring her healing and medicine , and I will cure them and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth . * And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to turn and will build them , as at the first . * And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity , with which they have sinned against me ; and I will pardon all their sins , with which they have sinned against me and with which they rebelled against me . * And it shall be unto me a name of joy , of praise and of glory among all the Gentiles of the earth , who shall have heard all the good that I do unto them and they shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I shall do unto them . * Thus hath the LORD said : Again there shall be heard in this place , which ye say is desolate without man and without beast , [even ] in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem , that are desolate , without man and without inhabitant and without beast , * the voice of joy , and the voice of gladness , the voice of the bridegroom , and the voice of the bride , the voice of those that shall say , Praise the LORD of the hosts ; for the LORD [is ] good ; for his mercy [endures ] for ever : [and ] of those that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD . For I will cause the captivity of the land to turn as at the first , said the LORD . * Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said ; Again in this place , which is desolate without man and without beast , and in all the cities thereof , there shall be booths of shepherds who shall cause [the ] flocks to lie down . * In the cities of the mountains , in the cities of the vale , and in the cities of the south , and in the land of Benjamin , and in the places about Jerusalem and in the cities of Judah , shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that counts [them ], said the LORD . * Behold , the days come , said the LORD , that I will confirm the good Word which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah . * In those days and at that time , I will cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David ; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land . * In those days shall Judah be saved , and Jerusalem shall dwell safely ; and this [is the name ] with which she shall be called , The LORD our righteousness . * For thus hath the LORD said : David shall never lack a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel ; * neither shall the priests the Levites lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings and to kindle grain offerings and to do sacrifice continually . * And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah , saying , * Thus hath the LORD said ; If ye can break my covenant with the day , and my covenant with the night , such that there should not be day nor night in their season , * [then ] may also my covenant be broken with David my servant , that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne ; and with the Levites and priests , my ministers . * As the host of heaven cannot be numbered , neither the sand of the sea measured , so will I multiply the seed of David my servant and the Levites that minister unto me . * Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah , saying : * Dost thou not consider what this people have spoken , saying , The two families which the LORD has chosen , he has even cast them off ? thus they have despised my people , that they should no longer be a nation before them . * Thus hath the LORD said : If my covenant [remains ] not with the day and the night , [and if ] I have not appointed the laws of the heaven and the earth , * then I will cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant , so that I will not take [any ] of his seed [to be ] rulers over the seed of Abraham , of Isaac , and of Jacob ; for I will cause their captivity to turn , and I will have mercy on them .:
