Jeremiah 29:7-14
New International Version
7 Also, seek(A) the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray(B) to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” 8 Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let the prophets(C) and diviners among you deceive(D) you. Do not listen to the dreams(E) you encourage them to have.(F) 9 They are prophesying lies(G) to you in my name. I have not sent(H) them,” declares the Lord.
10 This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years(I) are completed for Babylon, I will come to you(J) and fulfill my good promise(K) to bring you back(L) to this place. 11 For I know the plans(M) I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper(N) you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.(O) 12 Then you will call(P) on me and come and pray(Q) to me, and I will listen(R) to you. 13 You will seek(S) me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.(T) 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back(U) from captivity.[a] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”(V)
