Jeremiah 32:36-44

New American Standard Bible

³⁶ “Now therefore the Lord God of Israel says the following concerning this city of which you say, ‘It has been ^(A)handed over to the king of Babylon by sword, by famine, and by plague’: ³⁷ Behold, I am going to ^(B)gather them out of all the lands to which I have driven them in My anger, in My wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them back to this place and ^(C)have them live in safety. ³⁸ They shall be ^(D)My people, and I will be their God; ³⁹ and I will ^(E)give them one heart and one way, so that they will fear Me always, for their own ^(F)good and for the good of their children after them. ⁴⁰ I will make an ^(G)everlasting covenant with them that I will ^(H)not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will ^(I)put the fear of Me in their hearts, so that they will not turn away from Me. ⁴¹ I will ^(J)rejoice over them to do them good and will ^[a]faithfully ^(K)plant them in this land with ^(L)all My heart and all My soul. ⁴² For this is what the Lord says: ‘^(M)Just as I brought all this great disaster on this people, so I am going to ^(N)bring on them all the good that I am promising them. ⁴³ And ^(O)fields will be purchased in this land of which you say, “^(P)It is a desolation, without man or animal; it has been handed over to the Chaldeans.” ⁴⁴ People will buy fields for money, ^[b](Q)sign and seal ^[c]deeds, and call in witnesses in the ^(R)land of Benjamin, in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the ^[d]Negev; for I will ^(S)restore their fortunes,’ declares the Lord.”
