Jeremiah 32:36–44

³⁶“So now, therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you are saying, ‘It is ^agiven into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, by famine, and by pestilence.’

³⁷“Behold, I will ^agather them out of all the lands to which I have banished them in My anger, in My wrath, and in great indignation; and I will cause them to return to this place and ^bmake them inhabit it in safety.

³⁸“And they shall be ^aMy people, and I will be their God;

³⁹and I will ^agive them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me always, for their own ^bgood and for the good of their children after them.

⁴⁰“And I will cut an ^aeverlasting covenant with them that I will ^bnot turn away from them, to do them good; and I will ^cput the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me.

⁴¹“And I will ^arejoice over them to do them good and will truly ^bplant them in this land with ^call My heart and with all My soul.

⁴²“For thus says Yahweh, ‘^aJust as I brought all this great evil on this people, so I am going to ^bbring on them all the good that I am promising them.

⁴³‘^aThus fields will be bought in this land of which you all are saying, “^bIt is a desolation, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”

⁴⁴‘Men will buy fields for money, ^1asign and seal deeds, and call in witnesses in the ^bland of Benjamin, in the surroundings of Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the ²Shephelah, and in the cities of the ³Negev; for I will ^4creturn their ⁵fortunes,’ declares Yahweh.”
