³ The days^(A) are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will bring^(B) my people Israel and Judah back from captivity^[a] and restore^(C) them to the land I gave their ancestors to possess,’ says the Lord.”

³⁷ I will surely gather^(A) them from all the lands where I banish them in my furious anger^(B) and great wrath; I will bring them back to this place and let them live in safety.^{(C) 38} They will be my people,^(D) and I will be their God. ³⁹ I will give them singleness^(E) of heart and action, so that they will always fear^(F) me and that all will then go well for them and for their children after them. ⁴⁰ I will make an everlasting covenant^(G) with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire^(H) them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me.^{(I) 41} I will rejoice^(J) in doing them good^(K) and will assuredly plant^(L) them in this land with all my heart and soul.^(M)
