Jeremiah 33:7–11

⁷‘I will ^arestore the ¹fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel and will ^brebuild them as they were at first.

⁸‘I will ^acleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against Me and by which they have transgressed against Me.

⁹‘¹It will be to Me a ^aname of joy, praise and glory before ^ball the nations of the earth which will hear of all the ^cgood that I do for them, and they will ^dfear and tremble because of all the good and all the peace that I make for it.’

¹⁰“Thus says the Lord, ‘Yet again there will be heard in this place, of which you say, “It is a ^awaste, without man and without beast,” that is, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are ^bdesolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast,

¹¹the voice of ^ajoy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say,

“^bGive thanks to the Lord of hosts,

For the Lord is good,

For His lovingkindness is everlasting”;

and of those who bring a ^cthank offering into the house of the Lord. For I will restore the ¹fortunes of the land as they were at first,’ says the Lord.
