Context of Jeremiah 33:6

4The Lord, Israel's God, has a message about the houses in this city and about the royal palaces of Judah's kings. The people have knocked down the city's buildings. They have used the stones to make the city's walls stronger, 5to fight against Babylon's army. The Lord says, “The city's houses will be full of dead bodies. I am very angry with the people in the city and I will kill them. I will refuse to help this city because of the wicked things that its people have done. But listen to me! I will bring health again to the people of this city. I will make my people well again. They will live safely in peace. 7I will bring back the people of Judah and Israel from foreign lands. I will make them a strong nation, as they were before. 8They have done bad things and they have turned against me. But I will forgive all their sins that they have done against me.
