Chapter,1 Thus hath the Lord God of Israel spoken concerning the city, whereof you say, it shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babel by the sword, by famine, & by pestilence, Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, wherein I have scattered them in mine anger, and will bring them again into this place, and will cause them to dwell in safety. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. And I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me for ever. 2And proceeding forward in the chapter ensuing, Because the people of Jerusalem did not submit them selves unto the Chaldees, but resisted them with force, therefore were their bulwarks filled with dead bodies, But behold, I will give it health and amendment, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them abundance of peace and trueth. And there shall be heard in this place of which you say that it shall be desolate, even in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, and without any inhabitant, there shall be the voice of joy and gladness. Behold, the days come, sayeth the Lord, that I will perform that good thing, which I have promised ⟨image 55⟩unto the house of Israel, and to the house of Judah. In those days I will cause the branch of righteousness to grow up unto David, and he shall execute judgement and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Israel shall dwell in safety. And this shall they call her, The Lord is our righteousness: For thus saith the Lord, David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel. Neither shall the Priests and Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, & to do sacrifice continually. And afterwards again in the l. chapter:3 Thus saith the God of Israel, Behold, I will visit the king of Babel & his land, as I have visited the king of Assur. And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, he shall be fed, and his soul shall be satisfied in his due time, saith the Lord. In those days shall the iniquity of Israel be sought for, and there shall be none: and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will be merciful unto them whom I do reserve. &c.
