Jeremiah 40:9-10

English Standard Version

⁹ Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, swore to them and their men, saying, “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, ^(A)and it shall be well with you. ¹⁰ As for me, I will dwell at ^(B)Mizpah, to represent you before the Chaldeans who will come to us. But as for you, ^(C)gather wine and summer fruits and oil, and store them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken.”
