3Call to Me, and I will answer and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
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:
5The 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. 7I will restore Judah and Israel from captivity and will rebuild them as in former times.Cross References

Jeremiah 33:5 Summary
Jeremiah 33:5 tells us that God is angry with the city because of its wickedness, and He will use the Chaldeans to bring judgment upon it. This verse reminds us that God is a just God who must punish sin, as seen in Ezekiel 18:4, but it also points to a larger story of God's love and redemption, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11. Just like the city in Jeremiah's time, we all need to turn away from wickedness and seek God's face. We can do this by trusting in God's sovereignty and seeking to live according to His will, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does God say He has hidden His face from the city in Jeremiah 33:5?
God has hidden His face from the city because of its wickedness, which is a recurring theme in the Bible, as seen in Deuteronomy 31:17-18, where God hides His face from those who have turned away from Him.
What does it mean for God to strike down men in His anger and wrath?
When God strikes down men in His anger and wrath, it means He is executing judgment upon them for their sins, as seen in Jeremiah 32:31, where God's wrath is poured out upon Jerusalem due to its wickedness.
Are the Chaldeans acting on their own or is God using them for His purposes?
The Chaldeans are being used by God to fulfill His purposes, as stated in Jeremiah 25:9, where God says He will send the Chaldeans to destroy Jerusalem, demonstrating that even the actions of nations can be used by God to accomplish His will.
How can a loving God bring destruction and death upon a city?
While God is a loving God, as seen in John 3:16, He is also a just God who must punish sin, as stated in Romans 6:23, where the wages of sin is death, and it is this balance of love and justice that is seen in Jeremiah 33:5.

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 33:5
They come to fight with the Chaldeans,.... Either the Jews out of the country, or their auxiliaries, their neighbours, to oblige them to break up the siege; but all to no purpose: or rather the Jews
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 33:5
They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of 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.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 33:5
It is very difficult to determine whether these words contain an entire sense in themselves, or what connexion they have with the foregoing words: not to repeat men’ s diverse apprehensions, of which a large account is given by the author of the English Annotations, I think they judge best who think they have an entire sense in themselves, and judge that the they here mentioned are the Jews, of whom the prophet saith they come, because he knew they would sally out and fight with their enemies; but to no purpose but to fill their houses with their own dead bodies, whom he would cause in his anger to be slain, for their wickedness which they had provoked God by, and caused him to hide his face from that city which had so much of his countenance formerly.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 33:5
Jeremiah 33:5 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but [it is] to fill them with the dead bodies of 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.Ver. 5. They come to fight with the Chaldeans.] But they fight not in God’ s name; for he hath, for all their wickedness, hidden his face from them; therefore they fight with such sorry success; the houses which they would defend are filled with their dead caresses. This whole verse would be hemmed in with a parenthesis.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 33:5
(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).
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 33:5
5. have hid my face] in displeasure. Cp. Deuteronomy 31:17 and elsewhere.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 33:5
Render, They, i. e., the Jews come to fight with the Chaldaeans, and to fill them, i. e., the houses, with the dead bodies etc.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 33:5
5. They come to fight, etc. — This sentence is very enigmatical, and has occasioned many conjectural emendations of the text. But all such violent solutions of difficulties are to be rejected.
