4And so then look, I have released you todayg from the chains that were on your hands.h If it is good in your eyes to come with me to Babylon, then come, and I will take care of you.i But if it is bad in your eyes to come with me to Babylon, then refrain. Look, the whole land is before you.j To wherever it is good and right in your eyes to go, then go there.”

Now, behold, I release you today from the chains on your hands. If it seems good to you to come with me to Babylon, come, and I will look after you well, but if it seems wrong to you to come with me to Babylon, do not come. See, the whole land is before you; go wherever you think it good and right to go.

And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand. If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go.
