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 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam secundo, cum adhuc clausus esset in atrio carceris, dicens:

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

2 ¶ Hæc dicit Dominus, qui facturus est,
et formaturus illud, et paraturus:
Dominus nomen ejus:

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

3 Clama ad me, et exaudiam te,
et annuntiabo tibi grandia et firma quæ nescis.

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 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël
ad domos urbis hujus,
et ad domos regis Juda, quæ destructæ sunt,
et ad munitiones, et ad gladium

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 venientium ut dimicent cum Chaldæis,
et impleant eas cadaveribus hominum
quos percussi in furore meo et in indignatione mea,
abscondens faciem meam a civitate hac,
propter omnem malitiam eorum:

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 Ecce ego obducam eis cicatricem et sanitatem,
et curabo eos, et revelabo illis deprecationem pacis et veritatis.

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 Et convertam conversionem Juda et conversionem Jerusalem,
et ædificabo eos sicut a principio.

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 Et emundabo illos ab omni iniquitate sua
in qua peccaverunt mihi,
et propitius ero cunctis iniquitatibus eorum,
in quibus dereliquerunt mihi et spreverunt me.

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 Et erit mihi in nomen, et in gaudium,
et in laudem, et in exsultationem
cunctis gentibus terræ,
quæ audierint omnia bona quæ ego facturus sum eis:
et pavebunt et turbabuntur in universis bonis,
et in omni pace quam ego faciam eis.

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 Hæc dicit Dominus:
Adhuc audietur in loco isto
quem vos dicitis esse desertum,
eo quod non sit homo nec jumentum
in civitatibus Juda, et foris Jerusalem,
quæ desolatæ sunt, absque homine,
et absque habitatore, et absque pecore,

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 vox gaudii et vox lætitiæ,
vox sponsi et vox sponsæ,
vox dicentium: Confitemini Domino exercituum,
quoniam bonus Dominus,
quoniam in æternum misericordia ejus:
et portantium vota in domum Domini:
reducam enim conversionem terræ
sicut a principio, dicit Dominus.

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 Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum:
Adhuc erit in loco isto deserto,
absque homine et absque jumento,
et in cunctis civitatibus ejus,
habitaculum pastorum accubantium gregum.

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 In civitatibus montuosis,
et in civitatibus campestribus,
et in civitatibus quæ ad austrum sunt,
et in terra Benjamin, et in circuitu Jerusalem,
et in civitatibus Juda,
adhuc transibunt greges ad manum numerantis, ait Dominus.

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 ¶ Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus,
et suscitabo verbum bonum quod locutus sum
ad domum Israël et ad domum Juda.

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 In diebus illis et in tempore illo
germinare faciam David germen justitiæ,
et faciet judicium et justitiam in terra:

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 in diebus illis salvabitur Juda,
et Jerusalem habitabit confidenter:
et hoc est nomen quod vocabunt eum:
Dominus justus noster.

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

17 Quia hæc dicit Dominus:
Non interibit de David vir qui sedeat super thronum domus Israël:

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 et de sacerdotibus et de Levitis non interibit vir a facie mea,
qui offerat holocautomata,
et incendat sacrificium,
et cædat victimas omnibus diebus.

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

19 ¶ Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam, dicens:

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 ¶ Hæc dicit Dominus:
Si irritum potest fieri pactum meum cum die,
et pactum meum cum nocte,
ut non sit dies et nox in tempore suo,

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 et pactum meum irritum esse poterit cum David servo meo,
ut non sit ex eo filius qui regnet in throno ejus,
et Levitæ et sacerdotes ministri mei.

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 Sicuti enumerari non possunt stellæ cæli,
et metiri arena maris,
sic multiplicabo semen David servi mei,
et Levitas ministros meos.

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

23 ¶ Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam, dicens:

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 ¶ Numquid non vidisti quid populus hic locutus sit, dicens:
Duæ cognationes quas elegerat Dominus abjectæ sunt?
et populum meum despexerunt,
eo quod non sit ultra gens coram eis.

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 Hæc dicit Dominus:
Si pactum meum inter diem et noctem,
et leges cælo et terræ non posui,

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 equidem et semen Jacob et David servi mei projiciam,
ut non assumam de semine ejus
principes seminis Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob:
reducam enim conversionem eorum, et miserebor eis.
