Jeremiah 33:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ They sinned against me. But I will wash away that sin. They did evil and turned away from me, but I will forgive them. ⁹ Then Jerusalem will be a wonderful place! People who live there will be happy. And people from all nations will praise it. This will happen because they will hear about the good things I am doing there. They will be surprised and shocked at the good things and peace I will bring to Jerusalem.’

¹⁰ “You are saying, ‘Our country is an empty desert. There are no people or animals living there.’ It is now quiet in the streets of Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah. There are no people or animals there either. But it will be noisy there soon!
