3 Crie to

4 For these
-- --
thingus seith the Lord God of Irael to
the houses of this cite, and to the houses
of the king of Juda, that ben destro&yogh;ed,
and to the strengthingus, and to the
swerd of men comende,
5 that thei fi&yogh;te with
the Caldeis, and fulfille hem with the
careynes of men, the whiche Y smot in
my wodnesse, and in myn indignacioun;
and Y hidde my face fro this cite, for alle
the malice of hem.
6 Lo! `Y shal close
a&yogh;een to them the wounde and helthe,
and helen hem; and Y shal opene to
them the lowely pre&yogh;yng of pes, and of

7 and turne the turnyng of Juda,
and turne the turnyng of Jerusalem, and
Y shal bilde vp hem, as fro the bigynnyng.
8 And Y shal clense out hem fro
ther wickednesse, in whiche thei synneden

alle the wickenesses of hem, in whiche
thei `trespasiden to me, and dispisiden

9 And it shal be to me in to name,
and in to io&yogh;e, and in to preising, and in

that herden alle goodis that Y am to do
to them; and thei shuln inwardly dreden,
and ben disturbid in alle goodus, and in

10 These
thingus seith the Lord, &YOGH;it shal ben herd
in this place, whom &yogh;ee seyn to be desert,
for thi that ther is not a man ne
beste in the cites of Juda, and withouteforth

Knoulecheth to the Lord of ostus, for

be in this desert place, withoute man
-- --
and withoute beste, and in alle his cites,
a dwelling place of shepperdus, of liggende
flockus.
13 And in the mountewous
cites, and in the feldi cites, and in the
cites that at the south ben, and in the
lond of Beniamyn, and in the cumpas of
Jerusalem, and in the cites of Juda, &yogh;it

noumbrere, seith the Lord.
14 Lo! da&yogh;es

Irael, and to the hous of Juda.
15 In tho
da&yogh;es, and in that tyme, to buriowne Y

and he shal do dom and ri&yogh;twisnesse
in the lond.
16 In tho da&yogh;es shal
be saued Juda, and Irael shal dwelle
trostili; and this is the name that they
shul clepen hym, The Lord oure ri&yogh;twis.
17 For these thingus seith the Lord, Dien
shal not of Dauid a man, that sit vp on
the trone of the hous of Irael;
18 and of
the prestus and Leuytus shal not die a
man fro my face, that offreth brent sacrifices,
and brenne sacrifise, and sle victorie
sacrifise alle da&yogh;es.
19 And don is the wrd

20 seiende, These
thingus seith the Lord, Yf voide mai be
mad my couenaunt with dai,
21 and my
couenaunt with ny&yogh;t, that ther be not

voide shal moun be with Dauid,
my seruaunt, that ther be not of hym a
sone, that regne in his trone, and Leuytus,
and prestus,
22 my seruauns; as noumbred
out moun not be the sterres of heuene,
and mesured the grauel of the se, so Y
shal multeplie the sed of Dauid, my seruaunt,
and Leuytus, my seruauntys.
23 And
don is the wrd of the Lord to Jeremye,
Whether thou haue not seen,
24 that this
puple spac, seyende, Two kinredus that
the Lord hadde chose, ben cast awei, and
my puple thei dispiseden, for thi that ther

25 These thingus seith the Lord, If my couenaunt
