Jeremiah 32:42-44
New American Standard Bible
42 For this is what the Lord says: ‘(A)Just as I brought all this great disaster on this people, so I am going to (B)bring on them all the good that I am promising them. 43 And (C)fields will be purchased in this land of which you say, “(D)It is a desolation, without man or animal; it has been handed over to the Chaldeans.” 44 People will buy fields for money, [a](E)sign and seal [b]deeds, and call in witnesses in the (F)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 [c]Negev; for I will (G)restore their fortunes,’ declares the Lord.”

Jeremiah 32:42-44
New Living Translation
42 “This is what the Lord says: Just as I have brought all these calamities on them, so I will do all the good I have promised them. 43 Fields will again be bought and sold in this land about which you now say, ‘It has been ravaged by the Babylonians, a desolate land where people and animals have all disappeared.’ 44 Yes, fields will once again be bought and sold—deeds signed and sealed and witnessed—in the land of Benjamin and here in Jerusalem, in the towns of Judah and in the hill country, in the foothills of Judah[a] and in the Negev, too. For someday I will restore prosperity to them. I, the Lord, have spoken!”
