Jeremiah 33:8-10
New English Translation
8 I will purify them from all the sin that they committed against me. I will forgive all their sins that they committed in rebelling against me.[a] 9 All the nations will hear about all the good things that I will do for them. This city will bring me fame, honor, and praise before them for the joy that I bring it. The nations will tremble in awe at all the peace and prosperity that I will provide for it.’
10 “I, the Lord, say:[b] ‘You and your people are saying[c] about this place, “It lies in ruins. There are no people or animals in it.” That is true. The towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem will soon be desolate, uninhabited either by people or by animals. But happy sounds will again be heard in these places.
