1. And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah a second time while he was still held back in the courtyard of the guard, saying,
2. “Thus says Yahweh who made the earth, Yahweh who formed it to establish it, Yahweh is his name:
3. ‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and I will tell you great things and inaccessible things that you have not known.’
4. For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, that were torn down to make a defense against the siege ramps and against the sword:
5. ‘They are coming to fight against the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the corpses of the people whom I will strike in my anger and in my wrath, for whom I have hidden my face from this city because of all their wickedness.
6. Look, I am going to bring healing and health to it, and I will heal them, and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and reliability.
7. And I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel, and I will rebuild them as in the beginning.
8. And I will cleanse them from all their guilt that they sinned against me, and I will forgive all their iniquities that they sinned against me, and that they rebelled against me.
9. And it will be to me a name of jubilation, a praise, and a glory before all the nations of the earth, who will hear all the good that I will do for them, and they will fear, and they will tremble because of all the good, and because of all the prosperity that I will provide for it.’
