Understanding God's Heart For Us in Song
1 Moreover Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still locked up in the court of the guard, saying,
2 “Yahweh who does it, Yahweh who forms it to establish it—Yahweh 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.’
4 For Yahweh, 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:
5 ‘While men come to fight with the Chaldeans, 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 healing, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.
7 I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel, and will build them as at the first.
8 I 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.
