I, the <span class="smallcaps">Lord</span>, form the plan to bring them about. I am known as the <span class="smallcaps">Lord</span>. I say to you, <span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/33-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>‘Call on me in prayer and I will answer you. I will show you great and mysterious things which you still do not know about.’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/33-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>For I, the <span class="smallcaps">Lord</span> God of Israel, have something more to say about the houses in this city and the royal buildings which have been torn down for defenses against the siege ramps and military incursions of the Babylonians: <span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/33-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>‘The defenders of the city will go out and fight with the Babylonians. But they will only fill those houses and buildings with the dead bodies of the people that I will kill in my anger and my wrath. That will happen because I have decided to turn my back on this city on account of the wicked things they have done. <span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/33-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>But I will most surely heal the wounds of this city and restore it and its people to health. I will show them abundant peace and security. <span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/33-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>I will restore Judah and Israel and will rebuild them as they were in days of old. <span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/33-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>I will purify them from all the sin that they committed against me.

There are no people or animals in it.” That is true. The towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem will soon be desolate, uninhabited either by people or by animals. But happy sounds will again be heard in these places. <span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/33-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Once again there will be sounds of joy and gladness and the glad celebrations of brides and grooms.

I will also make the Levites who minister before me very numerous.

They are saying, ‘The <span class="smallcaps">Lord</span> has rejected the two families of Israel and Judah that he chose.’ So they have little regard that my people will ever again be a nation. <span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/33-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>But I, the <span class="smallcaps">Lord</span>, make the following promise: I have made a covenant governing the coming of day and night. I have established the fixed laws governing heaven and earth. <span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/33-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>Just as surely as I have done this, so surely will I never reject the descendants of Jacob. Nor will I ever refuse to choose one of my servant David’s descendants to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Indeed, I will restore them and show mercy to them.”</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center"><a href="http://netbible.com/">NET Bible copyright © 1996-2006 by Biblical Studies Press, L.L.C. http://netbible.com.<br />Used by permission.
