1
The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the guard:
2
"Thus says the LORD who made the earth, the LORD who formed it to establish it--the LORD is his name:
3
Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things which you have not known.
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 were torn down to make a defense against the siege mounds and before the sword:
5
The Chalde'ans are coming in to fight and to fill them with the dead bodies of men whom I shall smite in my anger and my wrath, for I have hidden my face from this city because of all their wickedness.
6
Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security.
