3. Cry out to me and I will heed you. And I will announce to you great things, things that are certain, though you do not know them.
4. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to the houses of this city, and to the houses of the king of Judah, which have been destroyed, and to the fortifications, and to the sword
5. of those who have arrived, so that they may fight with the Chaldeans, and so that they may have their fill of the dead bodies of the men whom I have struck down in my fury and in my indignation, concealing my face from this city, because of all their wickedness:
6. Behold, I will lead over them scars and health, and I will cure them. And I will reveal to them an invocation of peace and truth.
7. And I will convert the turning away of Judah and the turning away of Jerusalem. And I will build them up, just as from the beginning.
8. And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me. And I will forgive all their iniquities, by which they have offended against me and have despised me.
9. And this will be for me: a name, and a joy, and a praise, and an exultation, among all the nations of the earth who will hear about all the good things that I will accomplish for them. And they will be afraid and troubled over all these good things, and over all the peace, that I will accomplish for them.
