1. Moreover the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

1 וַיְהִ֧י דְבַר ־יְהוָ֛ה אֶֽל ־יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ שֵׁנִ֑ית וְהוּא֙ עוֹדֶ֣נּוּ עָצ֔וּר בַּחֲצַ֥ר הַמַּטָּרָ֖ה לֵאמֹֽר ׃

2. Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name;

2 כֹּֽה ־אָמַ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה עֹשָׂ֑הּ יְהוָ֗ה יוֹצֵ֥ר אוֹתָ֛הּ לַהֲכִינָ֖הּ יְהוָ֥ה שְׁמֽוֹ ׃

3. Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

3 קְרָ֥א אֵלַ֖י וְאֶעֱנֶ֑ךָּ וְאַגִּ֧ידָה לְּךָ֛ גְּדֹל֥וֹת וּבְצֻר֖וֹת לֹ֥א יְדַעְתָּֽם ׃ס

4. For thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;

4 כִּי֩ כֹ֨ה אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל עַל ־בָּתֵּי֙ הָעִ֣יר הַזֹּ֔את וְעַל ־בָּתֵּ֖י מַלְכֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֑ה הַנְּתֻצִ֕ים אֶל ־הַסֹּלְל֖וֹת וְאֶל ־הֶחָֽרֶב ׃

5. They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.

5 בָּאִ֗ים לְהִלָּחֵם֙ אֶת ־הַכַּשְׂדִּ֔ים וּלְמַלְאָם֙ אֶת ־פִּגְרֵ֣י הָאָדָ֔ם אֲשֶׁר ־הִכֵּ֥יתִי בְאַפִּ֖י וּבַחֲמָתִ֑י וַאֲשֶׁ֨ר הִסְתַּ֤רְתִּי פָנַי֙ מֵהָעִ֣יר הַזֹּ֔את עַ֖ל כָּל ־רָעָתָֽם ׃

6. Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

6 הִנְנִ֧י מַעֲלֶה ־לָּ֛הּ אֲרֻכָ֥ה וּמַרְפֵּ֖א וּרְפָאתִ֑ים וְגִלֵּיתִ֣י לָהֶ֔ם עֲתֶ֥רֶת שָׁל֖וֹם וֶאֱמֶֽת ׃

7. And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.

7 וַהֲשִֽׁבֹתִי֙ אֶת ־שְׁב֣וּת יְהוּדָ֔ה וְאֵ֖ת שְׁב֣וּת יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וּבְנִתִ֖ים כְּבָרִֽאשֹׁנָֽה ׃

8. And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.

8 וְטִ֣הַרְתִּ֔ים מִכָּל ־עֲוֺנָ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר חָֽטְאוּ ־לִ֑י וְסָלַחְתִּ֗י לכול ־עֲוֺנֽוֹתֵיהֶם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר חָֽטְאוּ ־לִ֔י וַאֲשֶׁ֖ר פָּ֥שְׁעוּ בִֽי ׃

9. And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.

9 וְהָ֣יְתָה לִּ֗י לְשֵׁ֤ם שָׂשׂוֹן֙ לִתְהִלָּ֣ה וּלְתִפְאֶ֔רֶת לְכֹ֖ל גּוֹיֵ֣י הָאָ֑רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִשְׁמְע֜וּ אֶת ־כָּל ־הַטּוֹבָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר אָֽנֹכִי֙ עֹשֶׂ֣ה אֹתָ֔ם וּפָחֲד֣וּ וְרָֽגְז֗וּ עַ֤ל כָּל ־הַטּוֹבָה֙ וְעַ֣ל כָּל ־הַשָּׁל֔וֹם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָֽנֹכִ֖י עֹ֥שֶׂה לָּֽהּ ׃ס

10. Thus saith the Lord; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,

10 כֹּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה עוֹד֮ יִשָּׁמַ֣ע בַּמָּקוֹם ־הַזֶּה֒ אֲשֶׁר֙ אַתֶּ֣ם אֹֽמְרִ֔ים חָרֵ֣ב ה֔וּא מֵאֵ֥ין אָדָ֖ם וּמֵאֵ֣ין בְּהֵמָ֑ה בְּעָרֵ֤י יְהוּדָה֙ וּבְחֻצ֣וֹת יְרוּשָׁלִַ֔ם הַֽנְשַׁמּ֗וֹת מֵאֵ֥ין אָדָ֛ם וּמֵאֵ֥ין יוֹשֵׁ֖ב וּמֵאֵ֥ין בְּהֵמָֽה ׃

11. The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the Lord of hosts: for the Lord is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the Lord.

11 ק֣וֹל שָׂשׂ֞וֹן וְק֣וֹל שִׂמְחָ֗ה ק֣וֹל חָתָן֮ וְק֣וֹל כַּלָּה֒ ק֣וֹל אֹמְרִ֡ים הוֹדוּ֩ אֶת ־יְהוָ֨ה צְבָא֜וֹת כִּֽי ־ט֤וֹב יְהוָה֙ כִּֽי ־לְעוֹלָ֣ם חַסְדּ֔וֹ מְבִאִ֥ים תּוֹדָ֖ה בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה כִּֽי ־אָשִׁ֧יב אֶת ־שְׁבוּת ־הָאָ֛רֶץ כְּבָרִאשֹׁנָ֖ה אָמַ֥ר יְהוָֽה ׃ס

12. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.

12 כֹּֽה ־אָמַר֮ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאוֹת֒ ע֞וֹד יִֽהְיֶ֣ה ׀ בַּמָּק֣וֹם הַזֶּ֗ה הֶחָרֵ֛ב מֵֽאֵין ־אָדָ֥ם וְעַד ־בְּהֵמָ֖ה וּבְכָל ־עָרָ֑יו נְוֵ֣ה רֹעִ֔ים מַרְבִּצִ֖ים צֹֽאן ׃

13. In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that telleth them, saith the Lord.

13 בְּעָרֵ֨י הָהָ֜ר בְּעָרֵ֤י הַשְּׁפֵלָה֙ וּבְעָרֵ֣י הַנֶּ֔גֶב וּבְאֶ֧רֶץ בִּנְיָמִ֛ן וּבִסְבִיבֵ֥י יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם וּבְעָרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֑ה עֹ֣ד תַּעֲבֹ֧רְנָה הַצֹּ֛אן עַל ־יְדֵ֥י מוֹנֶ֖ה אָמַ֥ר יְהוָֽה ׃ס

14. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

14 הִנֵּ֛ה יָמִ֥ים בָּאִ֖ים נְאֻם ־יְהוָ֑ה וַהֲקִֽמֹתִי֙ אֶת ־הַדָּבָ֣ר הַטּ֔וֹב אֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבַּ֛רְתִּי אֶל ־בֵּ֥ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וְעַל ־בֵּ֥ית יְהוּדָֽה ׃

15. In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

15 בַּיָּמִ֤ים הָהֵם֙ וּבָעֵ֣ת הַהִ֔יא אַצְמִ֥יחַ לְדָוִ֖ד צֶ֣מַח צְדָקָ֑ה וְעָשָׂ֛ה מִשְׁפָּ֥ט וּצְדָקָ֖ה בָּאָֽרֶץ ׃

16. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness.

16 בַּיָּמִ֤ים הָהֵם֙ תִּוָּשַׁ֣ע יְהוּדָ֔ה וִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם תִּשְׁכּ֣וֹן לָבֶ֑טַח וְזֶ֥ה אֲשֶׁר ־יִקְרָא ־לָ֖הּ יְהוָ֥ה ׀ צִדְקֵֽנוּ ׃ס

17. For thus saith the Lord; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

17 כִּי ־כֹ֖ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה לֹֽא ־יִכָּרֵ֣ת לְדָוִ֔ד אִ֕ישׁ יֹשֵׁ֖ב עַל ־כִּסֵּ֥א בֵֽית ־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל ׃

18. Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.

18 וְלַכֹּהֲנִים֙ הַלְוִיִּ֔ם לֹֽא ־יִכָּרֵ֥ת אִ֖ישׁ מִלְּפָנָ֑י מַעֲלֶ֨ה עוֹלָ֜ה וּמַקְטִ֥יר מִנְחָ֛ה וְעֹֽשֶׂה ־זֶּ֖בַח כָּל ־הַיָּמִֽים ׃ס

19. And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying,

19 וַֽיְהִי֙ דְּבַר ־יְהוָ֔ה אֶֽל ־יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ לֵאמֽוֹר ׃

20. Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;

20 כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה אִם ־תָּפֵ֙רוּ֙ אֶת ־בְּרִיתִ֣י הַיּ֔וֹם וְאֶת ־בְּרִיתִ֖י הַלָּ֑יְלָה וּלְבִלְתִּ֛י הֱי֥וֹת יֽוֹמָם ־וָלַ֖יְלָה בְּעִתָּֽם ׃

21. Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

21 גַּם ־בְּרִיתִ֤י תֻפַר֙ אֶת ־דָּוִ֣ד עַבְדִּ֔י מִהְיֽוֹת ־ל֥וֹ בֵ֖ן מֹלֵ֣ךְ עַל ־כִּסְא֑וֹ וְאֶת ־הַלְוִיִּ֥ם הַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים מְשָׁרְתָֽי ׃

22. As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

22 אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹֽא ־יִסָּפֵר֙ צְבָ֣א הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וְלֹ֥א יִמַּ֖ד ח֣וֹל הַיָּ֑ם כֵּ֣ן אַרְבֶּ֗ה אֶת ־זֶ֙רַע֙ דָּוִ֣ד עַבְדִּ֔י וְאֶת ־הַלְוִיִּ֖ם מְשָׁרְתֵ֥י אֹתִֽי ׃ס

23. Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

23 וַֽיְהִי֙ דְּבַר ־יְהוָ֔ה אֶֽל ־יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ לֵאמֹֽר ׃

24. Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

24 הֲל֣וֹא רָאִ֗יתָ מָֽה ־הָעָ֤ם הַזֶּה֙ דִּבְּר֣וּ לֵאמֹ֔ר שְׁתֵּ֣י הַמִּשְׁפָּח֗וֹת אֲשֶׁ֨ר בָּחַ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה בָּהֶ֖ם וַיִּמְאָסֵ֑ם וְאֶת ־עַמִּי֙ יִנְאָצ֔וּן מִֽהְי֥וֹת ע֖וֹד גּ֥וֹי לִפְנֵיהֶֽם ׃ס

25. Thus saith the Lord; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

25 כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה אִם ־לֹ֥א בְרִיתִ֖י יוֹמָ֣ם וָלָ֑יְלָה חֻקּ֛וֹת שָׁמַ֥יִם וָאָ֖רֶץ לֹא ־שָֽׂמְתִּי ׃

26. Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

26 גַּם ־זֶ֣רַע יַעֲקוֹב֩ וְדָוִ֨ד עַבְדִּ֜י אֶמְאַ֗ס מִקַּ֤חַת מִזַּרְעוֹ֙ מֹֽשְׁלִ֔ים אֶל ־זֶ֥רַע אַבְרָהָ֖ם יִשְׂחָ֣ק וְיַעֲקֹ֑ב כִּֽי ־אשוב אֶת ־שְׁבוּתָ֖ם וְרִחַמְתִּֽים ׃ס
