Jeremiah 33:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ The Lord is the God of Israel. He speaks about the houses in Jerusalem. He talks about the royal palaces of Judah. The people had torn down many of them. They had used their stones to strengthen the city walls against attack. ⁵ That was during their fight with the armies of Babylon. The Lord says, “The houses will be filled with dead bodies. They will be the bodies of the people I will kill. I will kill them when I am very angry with them. I will hide my face from this city. That’s because its people have committed so many sins.

⁶ “But now I will bring health and healing to Jerusalem. I will heal my people. I will let them enjoy great peace and security.
