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.’ ”

The Lord Promises Peace
33 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still (A)shut up in the court of the guard: 2 “Thus says (B)the Lord who made the earth,[a] the Lord who formed it to establish it—(C)the Lord is his name: 3 (D)Call to me and I will answer you, (E)and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. 4 For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the kings of Judah that were torn down to make a defense against (F)the siege mounds and against the sword: 5 They are coming in (G)to fight against the Chaldeans and to fill them[b] with the dead bodies of men whom I shall strike down (H)in my anger and my wrath, (I)for I have hidden my face from this city because of all their evil. 6 (J)Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security. 7 (K)I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel, (L)and rebuild them as they were (M)at first. 8 (N)I will cleanse them from all the guilt of their sin against me, (O)and I will forgive all the guilt of their sin and rebellion against me. 9 (P)And this city[c] shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth who shall hear of all the good that I do for them. They shall (Q)fear and tremble because of all the good and all the prosperity I provide for it.
10 “Thus says the Lord: In this place (R)of which you say, ‘It is a waste without man or beast,’ in the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man or inhabitant or beast, there shall be heard again 11 (S)the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who sing, as they bring (T)thank offerings to the house of the Lord:
(U)“‘Give thanks to the Lord of hosts,
for the Lord is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!’
(V)For I will restore the fortunes of the land as at first, says the Lord.
12 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: (W)In this place that is waste, without man or beast, and in all of its cities, there shall again be (X)habitations of shepherds (Y)resting their flocks. 13 (Z)In the cities of the hill country, (AA)in the cities of the Shephelah, (AB)and in the cities of the Negeb, in the land of Benjamin, (AC)the places about Jerusalem, (AD)and in the cities of Judah, (AE)flocks shall again pass under the hands (AF)of the one who counts them, says the Lord.
The Lord's Eternal Covenant with David
14 (AG)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when (AH)I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 15 In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous (AI)Branch to spring up for David, and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. 16 In those days Judah will be saved, (AJ)and Jerusalem will dwell securely. And this is the name by which it will be called: (AK)‘The Lord is our righteousness.’
17 “For thus says the Lord: (AL)David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel, 18 (AM)and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man in my presence to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to make sacrifices forever.”
19 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 20 (AN)“Thus says the Lord: (AO)If you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, (AP)so that day and night will not come at their appointed time, 21 (AQ)then also my covenant with David my servant may be broken, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and my covenant with the Levitical priests my ministers. 22 As (AR)the host of heaven cannot be numbered and (AS)the sands of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant, and the Levitical priests who minister to me.”
23 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 24 “Have you not observed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two clans that he chose’? Thus they have despised my people so that they are no longer a nation in their sight. 25 Thus says the Lord: (AT)If I have not established my covenant with day and night and the fixed order of heaven and earth, 26 then I will reject the offspring of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his offspring to rule over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. (AU)For I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy on them.”

Promesas de restauración
33 Entonces vino la palabra del Señor a Jeremías por segunda vez, mientras él estaba aún detenido[a] en el patio de la guardia(A): 2 «Así dice el Señor que hizo la tierra[b], el Señor que la formó para establecerla; el Señor es Su nombre(B): 3 “Clama a Mí, y Yo te responderé(C) y te revelaré cosas grandes e inaccesibles(D), que tú no conoces(E)”. 4 Porque así dice el Señor, Dios de Israel, acerca de las casas de esta ciudad y acerca de las casas de los reyes(F) de Judá, las cuales han sido derribadas para hacer defensas contra los terraplenes de asalto y contra la espada(G): 5 “Mientras ellos vienen a pelear contra los caldeos(H) que llenarán la ciudad con los cadáveres de los hombres que herí en Mi ira y en Mi furor, pues Yo había escondido Mi rostro de esta ciudad a causa de toda su maldad(I). 6 Pero ciertamente Yo le traeré salud y sanidad; los sanaré(J) y les revelaré abundancia de paz(K) y de verdad. 7 Restauraré el bienestar[c] de Judá y el bienestar[d] de Israel(L) y los reedificaré como eran al principio(M). 8 Los limpiaré de toda la maldad que cometieron contra Mí, y perdonaré todas las iniquidades con que pecaron contra Mí y con las que se rebelaron contra Mí(N). 9 Y la ciudad(O) será para Mí un nombre de gozo, de alabanza y de gloria ante todas las naciones de la tierra(P), las cuales oirán de todo el bien que Yo le hago(Q), y temerán y temblarán a causa de todo el bien y de toda la paz que Yo le doy[e](R)”.
10 »Así dice el Señor: “En este lugar, del cual ustedes dicen: ‘Es una desolación, sin hombres y sin animales’, en las ciudades de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalén que están desoladas, sin hombres, sin habitantes(S) y sin animales(T), se oirá de nuevo 11 voz de gozo y voz de alegría(U), la voz del novio y la voz de la novia, la voz de los que dicen:
‘Den gracias al Señor de los ejércitos,
Porque el Señor es bueno,
Porque para siempre es Su misericordia(V)’;
y de los que traen ofrenda de acción de gracias(W) a la casa del Señor. Porque restauraré el bienestar[f] de esta[g] tierra como fueron al principio”, dice el Señor.
12 »Así dice el Señor de los ejércitos: “En este lugar desolado, sin hombres y sin animales(X), y en todas sus ciudades, habrá de nuevo morada[h] de pastores que hagan descansar sus rebaños(Y). 13 En las ciudades de la región montañosa, en las ciudades de la llanura, en las ciudades del Neguev[i], en la tierra de Benjamín, en los alrededores de Jerusalén y en las ciudades de Judá(Z), volverán a pasar las ovejas bajo las manos del que las cuenta(AA)”, declara el Señor.
14 »“Vienen días”, declara el Señor(AB), “en que cumpliré la buena palabra que he hablado(AC) a la casa de Israel y a la casa de Judá. 15 En aquellos días y en aquel tiempo haré brotar de David un Renuevo justo, y Él hará juicio y justicia(AD) en la tierra(AE). 16 En aquellos días Judá estará a salvo y Jerusalén morará segura, y este es el nombre con el cual será llamada: el Señor es nuestra justicia(AF)”. 17 Porque así dice el Señor: “Nunca le faltará a David[j] quien se siente sobre el trono de la casa de Israel(AG). 18 Tampoco a los sacerdotes levitas(AH) les faltará[k] quien en Mi presencia ofrezca holocausto, queme ofrendas de cereal y prepare sacrificios todos los días(AI)”».
19 Y vino palabra del Señor a Jeremías: 20 «Así dice el Señor: “Si ustedes pudieran romper Mi pacto con el día y Mi pacto con la noche, de modo que el día y la noche(AJ) no vinieran a su tiempo, 21 entonces también se podría romper Mi pacto con Mi siervo David(AK), y él no tendría hijo para reinar sobre su trono con los sacerdotes levitas, Mis ministros. 22 Como no se puede contar el ejército del cielo, ni se puede medir la arena del mar, así multiplicaré la descendencia[l](AL) de Mi siervo David(AM) y de los levitas(AN) que me sirven”».
23 Y vino palabra del Señor a Jeremías: 24 «¿No has observado lo que dice este pueblo: “Las dos familias que el Señor escogió, Él las ha desechado(AO)”? Desprecian a Mi pueblo(AP), ya no son una nación(AQ) ante sus ojos[m]. 25 Así dice el Señor: “(AR)Si no hubiera permanecido Mi pacto con el día y con la noche(AS), y si Yo no hubiera establecido las leyes[n] del cielo y de la tierra, 26 entonces[o] hubiera desechado la descendencia[p](AT) de Jacob y de Mi siervo David, para no tomar de[q] su descendencia[r](AU) quien gobernara sobre la descendencia[s](AV) de Abraham, de Isaac y de Jacob. Pero Yo restauraré su bienestar[t] y tendré misericordia de ellos(AW)”».
