Jeremiah 33:10-11

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ “You are saying, ‘Our country is an ·empty desert [ruin], without people or animals.’ But this is what the Lord says: It is now quiet in the streets of Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, without people or animals, but ·it will be noisy there soon [^Lthere will once more be heard…]! ¹¹ ·There will be [^L…the] sounds of joy and gladness and the happy sounds of brides and bridegrooms. There will be the sounds of people bringing to the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord their offerings of thanks to the Lord. They will say,

They will say this because I will ·again do good things for Judah [restore the fortunes of the land], as I did in the beginning,” says the Lord.
