Jeremiah 33:1–9

Excellence of the Restored Nation

33 Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still ashut up in the court of the prison, saying, 2 “Thus says the Lord bwho made it, the Lord who formed it to establish it c(the 1Lord is His name): 3 d‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and 2mighty 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 ethe siege mounds and the sword: 5 ‘They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but only to ffill 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, gI will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth. 7 And hI will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return, and will rebuild those places ias at the first. 8 I will jcleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me. 9 kThen it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall lfear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.’
