Jeremiah 33:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 When that happens, all nations on earth will see the good things I have done for Jerusalem, and how I have given it complete peace. The nations will celebrate and praise and honor me, but they will also tremble with fear because of the powerful things I have done.
10 Jeremiah, you say that this land is a desert without people or animals, and for now, you are right. The towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem are deserted, and people and animals are nowhere to be seen. But someday you will hear 11 (A) happy voices and the sounds of parties and wedding celebrations. And when people come to my temple to offer sacrifices to thank me, you will hear them say:
“We praise you,
Lord All-Powerful!
You are good to us,
and your love never fails.”
The land will once again be productive.

New International Version
9 Then this city will bring me renown,(A) joy, praise(B) and honor(C) before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble(D) at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it.’
10 “This is what the Lord says: ‘You say about this place, “It is a desolate waste, without people or animals.”(E) Yet in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted,(F) inhabited by neither people nor animals, there will be heard once more 11 the sounds of joy and gladness,(G) the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings(H) to the house of the Lord, saying,
For I will restore the fortunes(K) of the land as they were before,(L)’ says the Lord.
