Jeremiah 29:8–14

8 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘Do not let your prophets who are in your midst, and your diviners, deceive you, and you must not listen to your dreams that you are causing them to dream. 9 For they are prophesying ⌊falsely⌋g to you in my name; I have not sent them,’ ⌊declares⌋h Yahweh. 10 For thus says Yahweh, ‘⌊As soon as the time has passed⌋,i seventy yearsj for Babylon, I will attend to you, and I will fulfill my good word to you, to bring you back to this place. 11 For I know the plans that I am planning concerning you,’ ⌊declares⌋k Yahweh, ‘plans for prosperity and not for harm, to give to you a future and a hope. 12 Then when you call me, and you come and pray to me, then I will listen to you. 13 When you search for me, then you will find me, if you seek me with all your heart. 14 And I will let myself be found by you,’ ⌊declares⌋l Yahweh, ‘and I will restore your fortunes,m and I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places to which I have driven you,’ ⌊declares⌋n Yahweh, ‘and I will bring you back to the place from which I deported you.’
