¹⁰ “For this is what the Lord says: ‘When ^(H)seventy years have been completed for Babylon, I will visit you and fulfill My ^(I)good word to you, to bring you back to this place. ¹¹ For I know the ^(J)plans that I ^[e]have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for ^[f](K)prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a ^(L)hope. ¹² Then you will ^(M)call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will ^(N)listen to you. ¹³ And you will ^(O)seek Me and find Me when you ^(P)search for Me with all your heart. ¹⁴ I will let Myself be ^(Q)found by you,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will ^(R)restore your fortunes and ^(S)gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will ^(T)bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.’
