Jeremiah 33:14-26

The Righteous Branch of David

¹⁴ ‘Behold, ^(A)days are coming,’ declares Yahweh, ‘when I will ^(B)establish the good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah. ¹⁵ In those days and at that time I will cause a ^(C)righteous Branch of David to branch forth; and He shall do ^(D)justice and righteousness on the earth. ¹⁶ In those days ^(E)Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell in security; and this is the name by which she will be called: ^(F)Yahweh is our righteousness.’ ¹⁷ For thus says Yahweh, ‘^[a]David shall ^(G)not have a man cut off from sitting on the throne of the house of Israel; ^18 [b]and the ^(H)Levitical priests shall not have a man cut off from before Me who is to offer burnt offerings, to offer up grain offerings in smoke, and to ^(I)perform sacrifices ^[c]continually.’”

¹⁹ Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying, ²⁰ “Thus says Yahweh, ‘If you can ^(J)break My covenant for the day and My covenant for the night, so that day and night will not be at their appointed time, ²¹ then ^(K)My covenant may also be broken with David My servant so that he will not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levitical priests, My ministers. ²² As the ^(L)host of heaven cannot be counted and the ^(M)sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will ^(N)multiply the seed of David My servant and the ^(O)Levites who minister to Me.’”

²³ And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying, ²⁴ “Have you not seen what this people have spoken, saying, ‘The ^(P)two families which Yahweh chose, He has ^(Q)rejected them’? Thus they have ^(R)spurned My people from being a nation any longer ^[d]in their sight. ²⁵ Thus says Yahweh, ‘If My ^(S)covenant for day and night stand not, and the statutes for heaven and earth I have ^(T)not established, ²⁶ then I would ^(U)reject the seed of Jacob and David My servant, ^[e]not taking from his seed ^(V)rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But I will ^[f](W)return their ^[g]fortunes and will have ^(X)compassion on them.’”
