2 Thus hath said the Lord that makes it, the Lord that forms it to establish it; the Lord is his name;
3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee and show thee great and difficult things, which thou dost not know.
4 For thus hath the Lord the God of Israel said concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the siege engines and by the sword
5 (because they came to fight with the Chaldeans, to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in my anger and in my fury and because I hid my face from this city due to all her wickedness):
6 behold, I will bring her healing and medicine, and I will cure them and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
7 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to turn and will build them, as at the first.
8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, with which they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their sins, with which they have sinned against me and with which they rebelled against me.
