a. After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you: As previously promised by Jeremiah, the captivity in Babylon would not go beyond seventy years. God had appointed an end to it, but it would be a long season in exile before God would cause you to return to this place. i. The false prophets promised a quick return from exile. Through Jeremiah the LORD told them it would not be a quick return, but there would be a return. In time
Jeremiah 29:10–14
