5while [men] come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city:
6Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal unto them abundance of peace and truth.

11the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that say, Give thanks to Jehovah of hosts, for Jehovah is good, for his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever; [and of them] that bring [sacrifices of] thanksgiving into the house of Jehovah. For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first, saith Jehovah.

John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me, etc.] Even by the blood of Christ, which cleanses from all sin, of heart, lip, and life, in allusion to the purifications under the law, (<620107>1 John 1:7); (see <263625>Ezekiel 36:25); and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me; for Christ’s sake, and through his stoning sacrifice, and upon the foot of full satisfaction made by him.

“cleanse-- (Eze 36:25; Zac 13:1; Heb 9:13-14). Alluding to the legal rites of purification. all their iniquity . . . all their iniquities--both the principle of sin within, and its outward manifestations in acts. The repetition is in order that the Jews may consider how great is the grace of God in not merely pardoning (as to the punishment), but also cleansing them (as to the pollution of guilt); not merely one iniquity, but all (Mic 7:18).”

Keil & Delitzsch
C. F. Keil & F. Delitzsch · Commentary on the Old Testament · 19th-century historical commentary
“This prosperity gains stability and permanence through the people's being cleansed from their sins by their being forgiven, which, according to Jer 31:34, will form the basis of the new covenant. Regarding the anomalous form לכול for לכל־ rof לכול mro, Hitzig supposes that in the scriptio continua a transcriber wished to keep the two datives לך לעונותיהם separate by inserting the ו. But the form כּוּלּם, Jer 31:34, is equally irregular, except that there the insertion of the ו may be explained in this, or in some similar way. Jeremiah 33:9”
