Jeremías 33
La Palabra (España)
Restauración del pueblo
33 De nuevo recibió Jeremías la palabra del Señor, mientras seguía detenido en el patio de la guardia:
2 — Así dice el Señor, el Creador, el que da forma y consolida todo, el que tiene como nombre “el Señor”: 3 Llámame y te responderé; te comunicaré cosas importantes y recónditas, que no conoces. 4 Pues así dice el Señor, Dios de Israel, sobre las casas de esta ciudad y los palacios de los reyes de Judá, destruidos ahora mediante las rampas de asalto y la espada: 5 Los caldeos vienen a luchar contra la ciudad, y las casas se llenarán de los cadáveres de las personas que he decidido aniquilar lleno de ira y de cólera, pues oculté mi rostro a esta ciudad a causa de todas sus maldades. 6 Pero luego yo mismo les proporcionaré cura y remedio, los sanaré y les revelaré el bienestar y la estabilidad que les voy a conceder. 7 Haré cambiar la suerte de Judá y la suerte de Israel, y los reconstruiré como al principio. 8 Los purificaré de todos los pecados que cometieron contra mí y perdonaré todos los pecados y rebeldías que cometieron contra mí. 9 Y la ciudad será objeto de alegría, de alabanza y de honor para todas las naciones que escuchen los beneficios que le voy a conceder; y se estremecerán y se conmoverán a la vista de los beneficios y el bienestar que le voy a proporcionar. 10 Así dice el Señor: En este lugar del que decís que está en ruinas, sin gente y sin animales, en las ciudades de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalén, desoladas, sin gente, sin habitantes y sin animales, podrán oírse de nuevo 11 voces alegres de fiesta, las canciones del novio y de la novia, las voces de los que entran en el Templo del Señor con acciones de gracias proclamando:
“Dad gracias al Señor del universo,
porque el Señor es bueno,
porque es eterno su amor”.
Pues pienso cambiar la suerte del país dejándolo como al principio, dice el Señor.
12 Así dice el Señor del universo: En este lugar arruinado, sin gente y sin animales, y en todas sus ciudades todavía habrá dehesas donde los pastores hagan reposar a sus ganados. 13 Por las ciudades de la montaña, de la Sefela y del Négueb, en el territorio de Benjamín, en las pedanías de Jerusalén y en las ciudades de Judá, todavía pasarán las ovejas junto al que las cuenta, dice el Señor. 14 Ya llegan días —oráculo del Señor— en que cumpliré lo que anuncié sobre Israel y Judá. 15 En aquellos días y en aquel tiempo le brotará a David un vástago legítimo que impondrá en el país la justicia y el derecho. 16 En aquellos días Judá quedará a salvo y Jerusalén podrá vivir confiada, y la llamarán “el Señor es nuestra justicia”. 17 Pues así dice el Señor: No le faltará a David quien se siente en el trono de Israel. 18 Tampoco le faltarán a la tribu de Leví sacerdotes que ofrezcan holocaustos, que me quemen ofrendas y que me hagan sacrificios a diario.
19 Jeremías recibió la palabra del Señor en estos términos:
20 — Así dice el Señor: Si sois capaces de romper mi pacto con el día y con la noche, de modo que no haya día ni noche cuando corresponde, 21 también podrá romperse mi alianza con mi siervo David, de modo que ya no tenga quien le suceda en el trono, y con mis servidores los sacerdotes de la tribu de Leví. 22 Así como no es posible contar los astros del cielo o calcular la arena del mar, así de incontable e incalculable haré a la descendencia de mi siervo David y a los levitas, mis servidores.
23 Jeremías recibió la palabra del Señor en estos términos:
24 — ¿No has visto lo que anda diciendo esta gente: que el Señor ha rechazado a las dos familias que había elegido? Pues hablando así desprecian a mi pueblo y no lo tienen por nación. 25 Así dice el Señor: Tan cierto como que he pactado una alianza con el día y con la noche, y he establecido las leyes del cielo y de la tierra, 26 lo es que no voy a impedir que surjan de la estirpe de Jacob y de mi siervo David personas que gobiernen a la estirpe de Abrahán, de Isaac y de Jacob, pues voy a cambiar su suerte y me compadeceré de ellos.
Jeremiah 33
New King James Version
Excellence of the Restored Nation
33 Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still (A)shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 2 “Thus says the Lord (B)who made it, the Lord who formed it to establish it (C)(the[a] Lord is His name): 3 (D)‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and [b]mighty things, which you do not know.’
4 “For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the kings of Judah, which have been pulled down to fortify against (E)the siege mounds and the sword: 5 ‘They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but only to (F)fill their places with the dead bodies of men whom I will slay in My anger and My fury, all for whose wickedness I have hidden My face from this city. 6 Behold, (G)I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth. 7 And (H)I will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return, and will rebuild those places (I)as at the first. 8 I will (J)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 and by which they have transgressed against Me. 9 (K)Then it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall (L)fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.’
10 “Thus says the Lord: ‘Again there shall be heard in this place—(M)of which you say, “It is desolate, without man and without beast”—in the cities of Judah, in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast, 11 the (N)voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say:
(O)“Praise the Lord of hosts,
For the Lord is good,
For His mercy endures forever”—
and of those who will bring (P)the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause the captives of the land to return as at the first,’ says the Lord.
12 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: (Q)‘In this place which is desolate, without man and without beast, and in all its cities, there shall again be a dwelling place of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. 13 (R)In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks shall again (S)pass under the hands of him who counts them,’ says the Lord.
14 (T)‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘that (U)I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah:
15 ‘In those days and at that time
I will cause to grow up to David
A (V)Branch of righteousness;
He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.
16 In those days Judah will be saved,
And Jerusalem will dwell safely.
And this is the name by which she will be called:
[c]THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.’
17 “For thus says the Lord: ‘David shall never (W)lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; 18 nor shall the (X)priests, the Levites, lack a man to (Y)offer burnt offerings before Me, to [d]kindle grain offerings, and to sacrifice continually.’ ”
The Permanence of God’s Covenant
19 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 20 “Thus says the Lord: ‘If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that there will not be day and night in their season, 21 then (Z)My covenant may also be broken with David My servant, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, My ministers. 22 As (AA)the host of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so will I (AB)multiply the descendants of David My servant and the (AC)Levites who minister to Me.’ ”
23 Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 24 “Have you not considered what these people have spoken, saying, ‘The two families which the Lord has chosen, He has also cast them off’? Thus they have (AD)despised My people, as if they should no more be a nation before them.
25 “Thus says the Lord: ‘If (AE)My covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not (AF)appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth, 26 (AG)then I will (AH)cast away the descendants of Jacob and David My servant, so that I will not take any of his descendants to be rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will cause their captives to return, and will have mercy on them.’ ”

Promise of Restoration
33 While Jeremiah was still confined(A) in the courtyard(B) of the guard, the word of the Lord came to him a second time:(C) 2 “This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth,(D) the Lord who formed it and established it—the Lord is his name:(E) 3 ‘Call(F) to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable(G) things you do not know.’ 4 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says about the houses in this city and the royal palaces of Judah that have been torn down to be used against the siege(H) ramps(I) and the sword 5 in the fight with the Babylonians[a]: ‘They will be filled with the dead bodies of the people I will slay in my anger and wrath.(J) I will hide my face(K) from this city because of all its wickedness.
6 “‘Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal(L) my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace(M) and security. 7 I will bring Judah(N) and Israel back from captivity[b](O) and will rebuild(P) them as they were before.(Q) 8 I will cleanse(R) them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive(S) all their sins of rebellion against me. 9 Then this city will bring me renown,(T) joy, praise(U) and honor(V) 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(W) 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.”(X) Yet in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted,(Y) inhabited by neither people nor animals, there will be heard once more 11 the sounds of joy and gladness,(Z) the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings(AA) to the house of the Lord, saying,
For I will restore the fortunes(AD) of the land as they were before,(AE)’ says the Lord.
12 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In this place, desolate(AF) and without people or animals(AG)—in all its towns there will again be pastures for shepherds to rest their flocks.(AH) 13 In the towns of the hill(AI) country, of the western foothills and of the Negev,(AJ) in the territory of Benjamin, in the villages around Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, flocks will again pass under the hand(AK) of the one who counts them,’ says the Lord.
14 “‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will fulfill the good promise(AL) I made to the people of Israel and Judah.
15 “‘In those days and at that time
I will make a righteous(AM) Branch(AN) sprout from David’s line;(AO)
he will do what is just and right in the land.
16 In those days Judah will be saved(AP)
and Jerusalem will live in safety.(AQ)
This is the name by which it[c] will be called:(AR)
The Lord Our Righteous Savior.’(AS)
17 For this is what the Lord says: ‘David will never fail(AT) to have a man to sit on the throne of Israel, 18 nor will the Levitical(AU) priests(AV) ever fail to have a man to stand before me continually to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to present sacrifices.(AW)’”
19 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 20 “This is what the Lord says: ‘If you can break my covenant with the day(AX) and my covenant with the night, so that day and night no longer come at their appointed time,(AY) 21 then my covenant(AZ) with David my servant—and my covenant with the Levites(BA) who are priests ministering before me—can be broken and David will no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne.(BB) 22 I will make the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as countless(BC) as the stars in the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore.’”
23 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 24 “Have you not noticed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two kingdoms[d](BD) he chose’? So they despise(BE) my people and no longer regard them as a nation.(BF) 25 This is what the Lord says: ‘If I have not made my covenant with day and night(BG) and established the laws(BH) of heaven and earth,(BI) 26 then I will reject(BJ) the descendants of Jacob(BK) and David my servant and will not choose one of his sons to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes[e](BL) and have compassion(BM) on them.’”
