Jeremiah

²“the Lord who does it, the Lord who forms it to establish it—the Lord is his name, says: ³‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’ ⁴For the Lord, 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; ⁵while men come to fight with the Kasdim, 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. ⁷I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first. ⁸I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against me. I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against me and by which they have transgressed against me.
