Jeremiah 33:6-16
New Living Translation
6 “Nevertheless, the time will come when I will heal Jerusalem’s wounds and give it prosperity and true peace. 7 I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel and rebuild their towns. 8 I will cleanse them of their sins against me and forgive all their sins of rebellion. 9 Then this city will bring me joy, glory, and honor before all the nations of the earth! The people of the world will see all the good I do for my people, and they will tremble with awe at the peace and prosperity I provide for them.
10 “This is what the Lord says: You have said, ‘This is a desolate land where people and animals have all disappeared.’ Yet in the empty streets of Jerusalem and Judah’s other towns, there will be heard once more 11 the sounds of joy and laughter. The joyful voices of bridegrooms and brides will be heard again, along with the joyous songs of people bringing thanksgiving offerings to the Lord. They will sing,
‘Give thanks to the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
for the Lord is good.
His faithful love endures forever!’
For I will restore the prosperity of this land to what it was in the past, says the Lord.
12 “This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: This land—though it is now desolate and has no people and animals—will once more have pastures where shepherds can lead their flocks. 13 Once again shepherds will count their flocks in the towns of the hill country, the foothills of Judah,[a] the Negev, the land of Benjamin, the vicinity of Jerusalem, and all the towns of Judah. I, the Lord, have spoken!
14 “The day will come, says the Lord, when I will do for Israel and Judah all the good things I have promised them.
15 “In those days and at that time
I will raise up a righteous descendant[b] from King David’s line.
He will do what is just and right throughout the land.
16 In that day Judah will be saved,
and Jerusalem will live in safety.
And this will be its name:
‘The Lord Is Our Righteousness.’[c]

New International Version
6 “‘Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal(A) my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace(B) and security. 7 I will bring Judah(C) and Israel back from captivity[a](D) and will rebuild(E) them as they were before.(F) 8 I will cleanse(G) them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive(H) all their sins of rebellion against me. 9 Then this city will bring me renown,(I) joy, praise(J) and honor(K) before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble(L) at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it.’
10 “This is what the Lord says: ‘You say about this place, “It is a desolate waste, without people or animals.”(M) Yet in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted,(N) inhabited by neither people nor animals, there will be heard once more 11 the sounds of joy and gladness,(O) the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings(P) to the house of the Lord, saying,
For I will restore the fortunes(S) of the land as they were before,(T)’ says the Lord.
12 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In this place, desolate(U) and without people or animals(V)—in all its towns there will again be pastures for shepherds to rest their flocks.(W) 13 In the towns of the hill(X) country, of the western foothills and of the Negev,(Y) in the territory of Benjamin, in the villages around Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, flocks will again pass under the hand(Z) of the one who counts them,’ says the Lord.
14 “‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will fulfill the good promise(AA) I made to the people of Israel and Judah.
15 “‘In those days and at that time
I will make a righteous(AB) Branch(AC) sprout from David’s line;(AD)
he will do what is just and right in the land.
16 In those days Judah will be saved(AE)
and Jerusalem will live in safety.(AF)
This is the name by which it[b] will be called:(AG)
The Lord Our Righteous Savior.’(AH)
