Jeremiah 33:10-13 ▼

10 Thus says YHWH: Once again there will be heard in this place of which you? say it is desolate without man and without beast, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate without man and without inhabitant and without beast,

11 the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those saying—‘Praise YHWH of Hosts, for YHWH is good, for His loving devotion is forever’—of those bringing thank offerings into the house of YHWH. For I will turn back the captivity of the land as at the first, says YHWH.

12 Thus says YHWH of Hosts: Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all its cities, there will be a dwelling place of shepherds causing the flock to lie down.

13 In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the Shephelah, and in the cities of the Negev, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flock will pass again under the hands of the one counting, says YHWH.
