4For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the kings of Judah that are being torn down for the siege ramps and for the sword:

5They are coming to fight against the Chaldeans but only to fill them with the corpses of the men whom I struck down in my anger and in my wrath, and from this city I have hidden my face because of all their evil.

6Behold, I am bringing her healing and cure, and I will heal them, and I will reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth.

7And I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel, and I will rebuild them as at the first.

8And I will cleanse them from all their guilt by which they have sinned against me, and I will forgive all their guilty deeds by which they have sinned against me and by which they have rebelled against me.

9And she will be to me a name of joy, a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth, who will hear of all the good that I am doing for them. And they will fear and tremble because of all the good and because of all the peace that I am bringing to her.
