1. And the word of יהוה came to Yirmeyahu a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
2. “Thus said יהוה who made it, יהוה who formed it to establish it, יהוה is His Name,
3. ‘Call unto Me, and I shall answer you, and show you great and inaccessible matters, which you have not known.’
4. “For thus said יהוה, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the sovereigns of Yehuḏah, which are thrown down against the siege mounds and the sword,
5. while coming to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill their places with the corpses of men whom I shall slay in My displeasure and My wrath, all for whose evil I have hidden My face from this city.
6. ‘See, I am bringing to it relief and healing. And I shall heal them and reveal to them the riches of peace and truth.
7. ‘And I shall turn back the captivity of Yehuḏah and the captivity of Yisra’ĕl, and shall build them as at the first,
8. and shall cleanse them from all their crookedness that they have sinned against Me. And I shall pardon all their crookednesses that they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me.
9. ‘And it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and a pride before all nations of the earth, who hear all the good I am doing to them, and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the peace I am doing to it.’
