The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: See 1.4.

A second time: In this context the message of the previous chapter must be the “first time” (see 32.1).

Court of the guard: See 32.2.

Bible en français courant renders this verse:

• Jeremiah was still detained in the court of the guards when the Lord communicated to him a new message.
