1 While he was still confined in the guard’s courtyard, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time:
2 “The Lord who made the earth, the Lord who forms it to establish it, the Lord is his name, says this:
3 Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and incomprehensible things you do not know.
4 For 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:
5 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.
6 Yet I will certainly bring health and healing to it and will indeed heal them. I will let them experience the abundance of true peace.
7 I will restore the fortunes of Judah and of Israel and will rebuild them as in former times.
8 I will purify them from all the iniquity they have committed against me, and I will forgive all the iniquities they have committed against me, rebelling against me.
9 This city will bear on my behalf a name of joy, praise, and glory before all the nations of the earth, who will hear of all the prosperity I will give them. They will tremble with awe because of all the good and all the peace I will bring about for them.
10 “This is what the Lord says: In this place, which you say is a ruin, without people or animals—that is, in Judah’s cities and Jerusalem’s streets that are a desolation without people, without inhabitants, and without animals—there will be heard again
11 a sound of joy and gladness, the voice of the groom and the bride, and the voice of those saying, Give thanks to the Lord of Armies, for the Lord is good; his faithful love endures forever as they bring thanksgiving sacrifices to the temple of the Lord. For I will restore the fortunes of the land as in former times, says the Lord.
12 “This is what the Lord of Armies says: In this desolate place—without people or animals—and in all its cities there will once more be a grazing land where shepherds may rest flocks.

Mt 7:7-8 “7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Jer 33:8 “8 I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me.”
God is cleansing us going back to the beginning
The sin that made us sinners
Rom 5:12 “12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned—”
Condemnation was our reward but GOD
Rom 5:16 “16 Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.”
Rom 5:17-19 “17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. 18 Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.”
We sin because we were born sinners, we are not sinners because we sin
God has changed our future because of Jesus
1 Jn 1:7 “7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.”
Eph 1:7 “7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace”
He placed us right side up

The wealth of the wicked is on the move to the House of God
Prov 13:22 “22 A good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children, but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.”
Prov 28:8 “8 He who increases his wealth by exorbitant interest amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.”
Ec 2:26 “26 To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”
