论到这城中的房屋和犹大王的宫室，就是拆毁为挡敌人高垒和刀剑的，耶和华以色列的神如此说，
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;
我要除净他们的一切罪，就是向我所犯的罪。又要赦免他们的一切罪，就是干犯我，违背我的罪。
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.
必再听见有欢喜和快乐的声音，新郎和新妇的声音，并听见有人说，要称谢万军之耶和华，因耶和华本为善。他的慈爱永远长存。又有奉感谢祭到耶和华殿中之人的声音。因为我必使这地被掳的人归回，和起初一样。这是耶和华
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.
万军之耶和华如此说，在这荒废无人民无牲畜之地，并其中所有的城邑，必再有牧人的住处。他们要使羊群躺卧在那里。
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.
耶和华说，日子将到，我应许以色列家和犹大家的恩言必然成就。
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.
因为耶和华如此说，大卫必永不断人坐在以色列家的宝座上。
For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
祭司，利未人在我面前也不断人献燔祭，烧素祭，时常办理献祭的事。
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.
耶和华的话临到耶利米说，
And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
耶和华如此说，若是我立白日黑夜的约不能存住，若是我未曾安排天地的定例，
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;
他见刀剑临到那地，若吹角警戒众民，
If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
