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.
