1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
2 Thus saith the LORD that doeth it, the LORD that formeth it to establish it; the LORD is his name:
3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and will shew thee great things, and difficult, which thou knowest not.
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 broken down to make a defence against the mounts, and against the sword:
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.
