1 Moreover Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
2 “Yahweh who does it, Yahweh who forms it to establish it; Yahweh is his name, says:
3 ‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great things, and difficult, which you don’t know.’
4 For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defense against the mounds and against the sword;
5 while men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city:
6 ‘Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.
7 I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
