1 While Jeremiahwas still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the Lordgave him this second message: 2 "This is what the Lordsays—the Lordwho made the earth, who formed and established it, whose name is the Lord: 3 Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come. 4 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: You have torn down the houses of this city and even the king’s palace to get materials to strengthen the walls against the siege ramps and swords of the enemy. 5 You expect to fight the Babylonians,33:5 Or Chaldeans.but the men of this city are already as good as dead, for I have determined to destroy them in my terrible anger. I have abandoned them because of all their wickedness.
6 "Nevertheless, the time will come when I will heal Jerusalem’s wounds and give it prosperity and true peace. 7 I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel and rebuild their towns. 8 I will cleanse them of their sins against me and forgive all their sins of rebellion. 9 Then this city will bring me joy, glory, and honor before all the nations of the earth! The people of the world will see all the good I do for my people, and they will tremble with awe at the peace and prosperity I provide for them.
10 "This is what the Lordsays: You have said, ‘This is a desolate land where people and animals have all disappeared.’ Yet in the empty streets of Jerusalemand Judah’s other towns, there will be heard once more 11 the sounds of joy and laughter. The joyful voices of bridegrooms and brides will be heard again, along with the joyous songs of people bringing thanksgiving offerings to the Lord. They will sing,
‘Give thanks to the Lordof Heaven’s Armies,
for the Lordis good.
His faithful love endures forever!’
For I will restore the prosperity of this land to what it was in the past, says the Lord.
12 "This is what the Lordof Heaven’s Armies says: This land—though it is now desolate and has no people and animals—will once more have pastures where shepherds can lead their flocks. 13 Once again shepherds will count their flocks in the towns of the hill country, the foothills of Judah,33:13 Hebrew the Shephelah.the Negev, the land of Benjamin, the vicinity of Jerusalem, and all the towns of Judah. I, the Lord, have spoken!
14 "The day will come, says the Lord, when I will do for Israeland Judahall the good things I have promised them.
15 "In those days and at that time
I will raise up a righteous descendant33:15 Hebrew a righteous branch.from King David’s line.
He will do what is just and right throughout the land.
17 For this is what the Lordsays: Davidwill have a descendant sitting on the throne of Israelforever. 18 And there will always be Levitical priests to offer burnt offerings and grain offerings and sacrifices to me."
19 Then this message came to Jeremiahfrom the Lord: 20 "This is what the Lordsays: If you can break my covenant with the day and the night so that one does not follow the other, 21 only then will my covenant with my servant Davidbe broken. Only then will he no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne. The same is true for my covenant with the Levitical priests who minister before me. 22 And as the stars of the sky cannot be counted and the sand on the seashore cannot be measured, so I will multiply the descendants of my servant Davidand the Levites who minister before me."
23 The Lordgave another message to Jeremiah. He said, 24 "Have you noticed what people are saying?—‘The Lordchose Judah and Israel and then abandoned them!’ They are sneering and saying that Israel is not worthy to be counted as a nation. 25 But this is what the Lordsays: I would no more reject my people than I would change my laws that govern night and day, earth and sky. 26 I will never abandon the descendants of Jacobor David, my servant, or change the plan that David’s descendants will rule the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Instead, I will restore them to their land and have mercy on them."
