Jeremiah 33:7-8

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first. And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and whereby they have transgressed against me." — Jeremiah 33:7-8 (ASV)

I ... will build ... I will cleanse ... I will pardon ... —The vision of the return of the exiles and of a restored city, prominent in Jeremiah 31:38-40, is not allowed to overshadow the yet more glorious vision of spiritual blessings of purity and pardon.
