Jeremiah 33 – Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Yahweh Will Pardon the People’s Iniquity

1 Then the word ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068 came ^H1961 to Jeremiah ^H3414 the second ^H8145 time ^H8145, while he was still ^H5750 [fn]confined ^H6113 in the court ^H2691 of the guard ^H4307, saying ^H559,

2 “Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 who made ^H6213 [fn]the earth, Yahweh ^H3068 who formed ^H3335 it to establish ^H3559 it; Yahweh ^H3068 is His name ^H8034, 3 ‘Call ^H7121 to Me and I will answer ^H6030 you, and I will tell ^H5046 you great ^H1419 and mighty ^H1219 things ^H1219, which you do not know ^H3045.’ 4 For thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068, the God ^H430 of Israel ^H3478, concerning ^H5921 the houses ^H1004 of this ^H2088 city ^H5892 and concerning ^H5921 the houses ^H1004 of the kings ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 which are torn ^H5422 down ^H5422 to make a defense against ^H413 the siege ^H5550 ramps ^H5550 and against ^H413 the sword ^H2719, 5 ‘While they are coming ^H935 to fight ^H3898 with the Chaldeans ^H3778 and to fill ^H4390 them with the corpses ^H6297 of men ^H120 whom ^H834 I have struck ^H5221 down ^H5221 in My anger ^H639 and in My wrath ^H2534, and I have hidden ^H5641 My face ^H6440 from this ^H2088 city ^H5892 because ^H5921 of all ^H3605 their evil ^H7451: 6 Behold ^H2009, I will bring ^H5927 to it health ^H724 and healing ^H4832, and I will heal ^H7495 them; and I will reveal ^H1540 to them an abundance ^H6283 of peace ^H7965 and truth ^H571. 7 I will [fn]return ^H7725 the [fn]fortunes ^H7622 of Judah ^H3063 and the [fn]fortunes ^H7622 of Israel ^H3478 and will rebuild ^H1129 them as they were at first ^H7223. 8 And I will cleanse ^H2891 them from all ^H3605 their iniquity ^H5771 by which ^H834 they have sinned ^H2398 against Me, and I will pardon ^H5545 all ^H3605 their iniquities ^H5771 by which ^H834 they have sinned ^H2398 against Me and by which ^H834 they have transgressed ^H6586 against Me. 9 And [fn]it will be to Me a name ^H8034 of joy ^H8342, praise ^H8416, and beauty ^H8597 before all ^H3605 the nations ^H1471 of the earth ^H776 which ^H834 will hear ^H8085 of all ^H3605 the good ^H2896 that I do ^H6213 for them, and they will be ^H6342 in dread ^H6342 and tremble ^H7264 because ^H5921 of all ^H3605 the good ^H2896 and all ^H3605 the peace ^H7965 that I make ^H6213 for it.’

10 “Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068, ‘Yet ^H5750 again ^H5750 there will be heard ^H8085 in this ^H2088 place ^H4725, of which ^H834 you say ^H559, “It is a waste ^H2720, without ^H369 man ^H120 and without ^H369 beast ^H929,” that is, in the cities ^H5892 of Judah ^H3063 and in the streets ^H2351 of Jerusalem ^H3389 that are desolate ^H8074, without ^H369 man ^H120 and without ^H369 inhabitant ^H3427 and without ^H369 beast ^H929, 11 the voice ^H6963 of joy ^H8342 and the voice ^H6963 of gladness ^H8057, the voice ^H6963 of the bridegroom ^H2860 and the voice ^H6963 of the bride ^H3618, the voice ^H6963 of those who say ^H559,

“Give ^H3034 thanks ^H3034 to Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635,

For Yahweh ^H3068 is good ^H2896,

For His lovingkindness ^H2617 endures forever ^H5769”;

and of those who bring ^H935 a thank ^H8426 offering ^H8426 into the house ^H1004 of Yahweh ^H3068. For I will [fn]return ^H7725 the [fn]fortunes ^H7622 of the land ^H776 as they were at first ^H7223,’ says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068.

12 “Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635, ‘There will again ^H5750 be in this ^H2088 place ^H4725 which is waste ^H2720, without ^H4480 H369 man ^H120 or beast ^H929, and in all ^H3605 its cities ^H5892, [fn]an abode ^H5116 of shepherds ^H7462 who cause their flocks ^H6629 to lie ^H7257 down. 13 In the cities ^H5892 of the hill ^H2022 country ^H2022, in the cities ^H5892 of the [fn]Shephelah ^H8219, in the cities ^H5892 of the Negev ^H5045, in the land ^H776 of Benjamin ^H1144, in the surroundings ^H5439 of Jerusalem ^H3389, and in the cities ^H5892 of Judah ^H3063, the flocks ^H6629 will again ^H5750 pass ^H5674 under ^H5921 the hands ^H3027 of the one who numbers ^H4487 them,’ says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068.

The Righteous Branch of David

14 ‘Behold ^H2009, days ^H3117 are coming ^H935,’ declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068, ‘when I will establish ^H6965 the good ^H2896 word ^H1697 which ^H834 I have spoken ^H1696 concerning ^H413 the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478 and the house ^H1004 of Judah ^H3063.

15 In those ^H1992 days ^H3117 and at that time ^H6256 I will cause a righteous ^H6666 Branch ^H6780 of David ^H1732 to branch ^H6779 forth ^H6779; and He shall do ^H6213 justice ^H4941 and righteousness ^H6666 on the earth ^H776. 16 In those ^H1992 days ^H3117 Judah ^H3063 will be saved ^H3467, and Jerusalem ^H3389 will dwell ^H7931 in security ^H983; and this ^H2088 is the name by which ^H834 she will be called ^H7121: Yahweh ^H3068 is our righteousness ^H6664.’ 17 For thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068, ‘[fn]David ^H1732 shall not have a man ^H376 cut ^H3772 off from sitting ^H3427 on the throne ^H3678 of the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478; 18 [fn]and the Levitical ^H3881 priests ^H3548 shall not have a man ^H376 cut ^H3772 off from before ^H4480 H6440 Me who is to offer ^H5927 burnt ^H5930 offerings ^H5930, to offer ^H6999 up ^H6999 grain offerings ^H4503 in ^H6999 smoke ^H6999, and to perform ^H6213 sacrifices ^H2077 [fn]continually ^H3605 H3117.’”

19 Then the word ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068 came ^H1961 to Jeremiah ^H3414, saying ^H559, 20 “Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068, ‘If ^H518 you can break ^H6565 My covenant ^H1285 for the day ^H3117 and My covenant ^H1285 for the night ^H3915, so that day ^H3119 and night ^H3915 will not be at their appointed ^H6256 time ^H6256, 21 then My covenant ^H1285 may also ^H1571 be broken ^H6565 with David ^H1732 My servant ^H5650 so that he will not have ^H1961 a son ^H1121 to reign ^H4427 on his throne ^H3678, and with the Levitical ^H3881 priests ^H3548, My ministers ^H8334. 22 As the host ^H6635 of heaven ^H8064 cannot ^H3808 be counted ^H5608 and the sand ^H2344 of the sea ^H3220 cannot ^H3808 be measured ^H4058, so ^H3651 I will multiply ^H7235 the seed ^H2233 of David ^H1732 My servant ^H5650 and the Levites ^H3881 who minister ^H8334 to Me.’”

23 And the word ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068 came ^H1961 to Jeremiah ^H3414, saying ^H559, 24 “Have you not seen ^H7200 what ^H4100 this ^H2088 people ^H5971 have spoken ^H1696, saying ^H559, ‘The two ^H8147 families ^H4940 which ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 chose ^H977, He has rejected ^H3988 them’? Thus they have spurned ^H5006 My people ^H5971 from ^H4480 being a nation ^H1471 any longer ^H5750 [fn]in their sight ^H6440. 25 Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068, ‘If ^H518 My covenant ^H1285 for day ^H3119 and night ^H3915 stand not, and the statutes ^H2708 for heaven ^H8064 and earth ^H776 I have not established ^H7760, 26 then ^H1571 I would reject ^H3988 the seed ^H2233 of Jacob ^H3290 and David ^H1732 My servant ^H5650, [fn]not ^H4480 taking ^H3947 from his seed ^H2233 rulers ^H4910 over ^H413 the seed ^H2233 of Abraham ^H85, Isaac ^H3327, and Jacob ^H3290. But I will [fn]return ^H7725 their [fn]fortunes ^H7622 and will have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 them.’”
