The Restoration of Israel
4For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says about the houses of this city and the palaces of the kings of Judah that have been torn down for defense against the siege ramps and the sword: 5 The Chaldeans are coming to fight and to fill those places with the corpses of the men I will strike down in My anger and in My wrath. I have hidden My face from this city because of all its wickedness. 6Nevertheless, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal its people and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.…

Jeremiah 33
1. God promises to the captivity a gracious return;

17. a continuance of kingdom and priesthood;
19. and a stability of a blessed seed.














(5) They come to fight with the Chaldeans . . .--The Hebrew construction is participial, and has the force expressed in English by "they" used indefinitely. The prophet sees, as it were, a sortie of the besieged, but it is doomed to failure, and the houses of the city are filled with those who were slain by the sword, as well as by the "famine and pestilence" (Jeremiah 32:24).

Verse 5. - They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is, etc. The passage is obscure, so obscure that we cannot avoid inferring that it is corrupt. "They come" could only refer to the Jews, but these would rather be said to "go out;" the Hebrew writers are particular in distinguishing between to "come" and to "go out." Besides, there is no grammatical connection with the preceding verse. The Septuagint omits "they come," but the passage still remains enigmatical.
