Context of Jeremiah 33:5

3Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and I will shew thee great and hidden things, which thou knowest not. 4For thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down because of the mounds and because of the sword: They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but to fill them with the dead bodies of the men whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city. 6Behold, I will apply a healing dressing to it and cure, and I will heal them, and will reveal unto them an abundance of peace and truth. 7And I will turn the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel, and will build them, as at the beginning.
