Jeremiah 33:7-13

LEB(i) 7 And I will restore the fortunes* of Judah and the fortunes* of Israel, and I will rebuild them as in the beginning. 8 And I will cleanse them from all their guilt that they sinned against me, and I will forgive all their iniquities that they sinned against me, and that they rebelled against me. 9 And it will be to me a name of jubilation, a praise, and a glory before all the nations of the earth, who will hear all the good that I will do for them, and they will fear,* and they will tremble because of all the good, and because of all the prosperity that I will provide for it.' 10 "Thus says Yahweh: 'Again will be heard in this place, of which you are saying, "It is a waste, without* people and without* animals,"* in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without* people and without* inhabitants* and without* animals,* 11 the voice of jubilation, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voices* of those who say, "Praise Yahweh of hosts, for Yahweh is good, for his loyal love is forever,"* the voices of those who bring thank offerings* to the house of Yahweh, for I will restore the fortunes* of the land as in the beginning,' says Yahweh. 12 Thus says Yahweh of hosts: 'Again there will be in this waste place, without* people and animals,* and in all its towns, pasture for shepherds allowing their flock to lie down. 13 In the towns of the hill country, in the towns of the Shephelah, and in the towns of the Negev, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the surroundings of Jerusalem, and in the towns of Judah, flocks will again pass under the hands of the counter,' says Yahweh.
