Context of Jeremiah 33:5

3Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and incomprehensible things you do not know. 4For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says concerning the houses of this city and the palaces of Judah’s kings, the ones torn down for defense against the assault ramps and the sword: The people coming to fight the Chaldeans will fill the houses with the corpses of their own men that I strike down in my wrath and fury. I have hidden my face from this city because of all their evil. 6Yet I will certainly bring health and healing to it and will indeed heal them. I will let them experience the abundance of true peace. 7I will restore the fortunes of Judah and of Israel and will rebuild them as in former times.
