1. Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
2. “Thus says the Lord who made it, the Lord who formed it to establish it (the Lord is His name):
3. ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’
4. “For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the kings of Judah, which have been pulled down to fortify against the siege mounds and the sword:
5. ‘They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but only to fill their places with the dead bodies of men whom I will slay in My anger and My fury, all for whose wickedness I have hidden My face from this city.
6. Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.
