Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still ^(C1)confined in the courtyard of the guard, saying,

"This is what ^(C1)the LORD says, He who made ^(F1)the earth, the LORD who formed it to create it, He whose name is the ^(C2)LORD:

'^(C1)Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you ^(C2)great and ^(F1)mighty things, ^(C3)which you do not know.'

"For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel says concerning the ^(C1)houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah which have been torn down to make a defense against the ^(C2)assault ramps and the sword:

'While they are coming to ^(C1)fight the Chaldeans and to fill ^(F1)their houses with the bodies of people whom I have struck down in My anger and My wrath, and I have ^(C2)hidden My face from this city because of all their wickedness:

'Behold, I am going to bring to it ^(C1)healing and a remedy, and I will heal them; and I will reveal to them an ^(C2)abundance of peace and truth.

'And I will ^(C1)restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel, and will ^(C2)rebuild them as they were at first.

'And I will ^(C1)cleanse them from all their wrongdoing by which they have sinned against Me, and I will forgive all their wrongdoings by which they have sinned against Me and revolted against Me.

'^(F1)It will be to Me a ^(C1)name of joy, praise, and glory before ^(C2)all the nations of the earth, which will hear of all the ^(C3)good that I do for them, and they will be ^(C4)frightened and tremble because of all the good and all the peace that I make for it.'
