1 While I was still in prison in the courtyard, the Lord's message came to me again.
2 The Lord, who made the earth, who formed it and set it in place, spoke to me. He whose name is the Lord said,
3 “Call to me, and I will answer you; I will tell you wonderful and marvellous things that you know nothing about.
4 I, the Lord, the God of Israel, say that the houses of Jerusalem and the royal palace of Judah will be torn down as a result of the siege and the attack.
5 Some will fight against the Babylonians, who will fill the houses with the corpses of those whom I am going to strike down in my anger and fury. I have turned away from this city because of the evil things that its people have done.
