² Thus saidsaid JehovahJehovah its maker, JehovahJehovah its former, at establishing it, JehovahJehovah [is] His namename:

³ CallCall unto Me, and I do answeranswer thee, yea, I declaredeclare to thee greatgreat and fenced things -- thou hast not knownknown them.

⁴ For thus saidsaid JehovahJehovah, GodGod of IsraelIsrael, concerning the houseshouses of this citycity, and concerning the houseshouses of the kingskings of JudahJudah, that are broken down for the mounts, and for the tool;

⁵ they are comingcoming in to fight with the ChaldeansChaldeans, and to fillfill them with the carcases of men, whom I have smittensmitten in Mine angeranger, and in My furyfury, and [for] whom I have hiddenhidden My faceface from this citycity, because of all their evilevil:

⁶ Lo, I am increasing to it healthhealth and curecure, And have healedhealed them, and revealed to them The abundance of peacepeace and truthtruth.

⁷ And I have turned backback the captivitycaptivity of JudahJudah, And the captivitycaptivity of IsraelIsrael, And I have builtbuilt them as at the firstthe first,

⁸ And cleansed them from all their iniquityiniquity, That they have sinned against Me, And I have pardoned all their iniquitiesiniquities, That they have sinned against Me, And that they transgressed against Me.

⁹ And it hath been to Me for a namename of joy, For praise, and for beauty, to all nationsnations of the earthearth, Who hearhear of all the goodgood that I am doing them, And they have feared, And they have trembled for all the goodgood, And for all the peacepeace, that I am doing to it.

¹⁰ Thus saidsaid JehovahJehovah: Again heardheard in this placeplace of which ye are saying, Waste it [is], without man and without beastbeast, In citiescities of JudahJudah, and in streetsstreets of JerusalemJerusalem, That are desolated, without man, And without inhabitant, and without beastbeast,

¹¹ Is a voicevoice of joy and a voicevoice of gladness, voicevoice of bridegroombridegroom, and voicevoice of bridebride, The voicevoice of those saying, Thank Jehovah of HostsJehovah of Hosts, for JehovahJehovah [is] goodgood, For His kindnesskindness [is] to the age, Who are bringingbringing in thanksgiving to the househouse of JehovahJehovah, For I turn backback the captivitycaptivity of the landland, As at the firstthe first, saidsaid JehovahJehovah.

¹² Thus saidsaid Jehovah of HostsJehovah of Hosts: Again there is in this placeplace -- that is waste, Without man and beastbeast, And in all its citiescities -- a habitation of shepherdsshepherds, Causing the flockflock to lie down.

¹³ In the citiescities of the hillhill-countrycountry, In the citiescities of the low countrycountry, And in the citiescities of the southsouth, And in the landland of BenjaminBenjamin, And in the suburbs of JerusalemJerusalem, And in the citiescities of JudahJudah, Again doth the flockflock passpass by underunder the handshands of the numberer, saidsaid JehovahJehovah.

¹⁴ Lo, daysdays are comingcoming, an affirmation of JehovahJehovah, And I have established the goodgood wordword That I spakespake unto the househouse of IsraelIsrael, And concerning the househouse of JudahJudah.

¹⁵ In those daysdays, and at that timetime, I cause to shoot up to DavidDavid a shoot of righteousnessrighteousness, And he hath done judgmentjudgment and righteousnessrighteousness in the earthearth.

¹⁶ In those daysdays is JudahJudah savedsaved, And JerusalemJerusalem doth dwell confidently, And this [is] he whom JehovahJehovah proclaimeth to her: `Our RighteousnessRighteousness.'

¹⁷ For thus saidsaid JehovahJehovah: `Not cut offcut off to DavidDavid is one sittingsitting on the thronethrone of the househouse of IsraelIsrael,

¹⁸ And to the priestspriests -- the Levites, Not cut offcut off from beforebefore Me is one, Causing a burnt-offeringoffering to ascend, And perfuming a presentpresent, and making sacrifice -- all the daysdays.'

¹⁹ And there is a wordword of JehovahJehovah unto JeremiahJeremiah, saying,

²⁰ `Thus saidsaid JehovahJehovah: If ye do break My covenant of the dayday, And My covenant of the nightnight, So that they are not dailydaily and nightly in their season,

²¹ Also My covenant is broken with DavidDavid My servantservant, So that he hath not a sonson reigningreigning on his thronethrone, And with the Levites the priestspriests, My ministersministers.

²² As the hosthost of the heavensheavens is not numbered, Nor the sandsand of the seasea measuredmeasured, So I multiplymultiply the seedseed of DavidDavid My servantservant, And the Levites My ministersministers.'

²³ And there is a wordword of JehovahJehovah unto JeremiahJeremiah, saying:

²⁴ `Hast thou not considered what this peoplepeople have spokenspoken, saying: The twotwo familiesfamilies on which JehovahJehovah fixed, He doth reject them, And my peoplepeople they despisedespise -- So that they are no more a peoplepeople beforebefore them!

²⁵ Thus saidsaid JehovahJehovah: If My covenant [is] not daily and nightly, The statutesstatutes of heaven and earthheaven and earth I have not appointed --

²⁶ Also the seedseed of JacobJacob, and DavidDavid My servantservant, I reject, Against taking from his seedseed rulers For the seedseed of AbrahamAbraham, IsaacIsaac, and JacobJacob, For I turn backback [to] their captivitycaptivity, and have pitied them.'
