KJ3 Literal Translation
Jeremiah 33
Jehovah promises to the captives a gracious return, a settled government, Christ the Branch of Righteousness, a continuance of kingdom and priesthood, of a blessed seed.
1And the Word of Jehovah was to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
2So says Jehovah his Maker, Jehovah, who formed it in order to establish it; Jehovah is His name:
3Call to Me, and I will answer you; and I will tell you great and inaccessible things; you do not know them.
4For so says Jehovah, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to defend against the siege mounds, and against the sword,
5they come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the corpses of men whom I have struck in My anger and in My wrath, and for whom I have hidden My face from this city, because of all their evil.
6Behold, I will bring health and healing to it, and I will heal them and will show them the abundance of peace and truth.
7And I will bring back the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
8And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity which they have sinned against Me; and I will pardon all their iniquities that they have sinned against Me, and which they have transgressed against Me.
9And it shall be a name of joy to Me, a praise and a glory to all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do for them. And they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the peace that I do for it.
10So says Jehovah, Again there shall be heard in this place, which you say shall be waste, not with man, and not with beast, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate not with man, not with one living in it, and not with beast,
11the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of those saying, Praise Jehovah of Hosts, for Jehovah is good, for His mercy endures forever; those who shall bring the sacrifice of thanksgiving into the house of Jehovah. For I will bring back the captivity of the land, as at the first, says Jehovah.
12So says Jehovah of Hosts, Again in this place which is a waste, not with man and also beast, and in all its cities shall be a home of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
13In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the Negeb, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks shall pass again under the hands of him who tallies, says Jehovah.
14Behold, the days come, a statement of Jehovah, that I will cause to rise the good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
15In those days, and at that time, I will cause a Branch of Righteousness to grow up to David. And He shall do judgment and righteousness in the land.
16In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety. And this is the name with which one shall call on her: JEHOVAH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
17For so says Jehovah, Not a man sitting on the throne of the house of Israel will be cut off to David.
18And for the Levitical priests, they shall not have a man cut off before Me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle food offerings, and to do sacrifice all the days.
19And the Word of Jehovah was to Jeremiah, saying,
20So says Jehovah, If you can break My covenant of the day, and My covenant of the night, and there should not be day and night in their time,
21My covenant with My servant David may also be broken, that he should not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levitical priests, My ministers.
22As the host of the heavens cannot be numbered, and not the sand of the sea measured, so I will multiply the seed of My servant David, and the Levites who minister to Me.
23And the Word of Jehovah was to Jeremiah, saying,
24Have you not seen what these people have spoken, saying, The two families that Jehovah has chosen, He has also rejected them? And they spurn My people, no more to be a nation before them.
25So says Jehovah, If My covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of the heavens and earth,
26then I also will reject the seed of Jacob, and My servant David, not to take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For I will bring back their captivity and have compassion on them.
