The New Covenant

²⁷ “Behold, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will ^(A)sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of beast. ²⁸ And it will be that as I have ^(B)watched over them to ^(C)uproot, to tear down, to pull down, to destroy, and to bring calamity, so I will watch over them to ^(D)build and to plant,” declares Yahweh.

¹² “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, ‘There will again be in this place which is waste, ^(A)without man or beast, and in all its cities, ^[a]an abode of shepherds who cause their ^(B)flocks to lie down.

³³ ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the ^(A)cities to be inhabited, and the ^(B)waste places will be rebuilt.
