Jeremiah 33:4-6

The Voice

⁴ I, the Eternal God of Israel, tell you that all these public buildings and royal palaces have been dismantled in vain. You thought you could strengthen the city walls with the scraps of those buildings, but it is a useless defense against the siege ramps and swords ⁵ of the Chaldeans. In this fight, the city will be filled with the dead whom I will destroy in My anger and wrath, for I have hidden My face from this city because of their wickedness. ⁶ Nevertheless, keep watching! I will restore this city and heal the wounds of My people. I will lavish them with peace and stability.
