Jeremiah 33:10-13

Call to Me: Healing, Restoration, and the Righteous Branch

The chapter moves from the LORD's invitation to call upon him, to the confirmation of judgment, to the promise of healing and forgiveness, to restored joy and worship, to renewed pastoral abundance, and finally to the righteous Branch and the permanence of Davidic and priestly covenant promises.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

10 This is what the LORD says: In this place you say is a wasteland without man or beast, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted—inhabited by neither man nor beast—there will be heard again

11 the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those bringing thank offerings into the house of the LORD, saying: ‘Give thanks to the LORD of Hosts, for the LORD is good; His loving devotion endures forever.’ For I will restore the land from captivity as in former times, says the LORD.

12 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: In this desolate place, without man or beast, and in all its cities, there will once more be pastures for shepherds to rest their flocks.

13 In the cities of the hill country, the foothills, and the Negev, in the land of Benjamin and the cities surrounding Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of the one who counts them, says the LORD.
