Jeremiah 32:36-41

International Standard Version

A Promise of Restoration

³⁶ “Now therefore,” says the Lord God of Israel, “concerning this city about which you are saying, ‘It is being given into the control of the king of Babylon by sword, famine, and plague,’ ³⁷ I’m about to gather my people^[a] from all the lands where I’ve driven them in my anger, wrath, and great indignation. I’ll bring them back to this place and let them live in safety. ³⁸ They’ll be my people, and I’ll be their God. ³⁹ I’ll give them one heart and one lifestyle^[b] so they’ll fear me always for their own good and for the good of^[c] their descendants after them. ⁴⁰ I’ll make an everlasting covenant with them that I won’t turn away from doing good for them.^[d] I’ll put the fear of me in their hearts so they won’t turn away from me. ⁴¹ I’ll rejoice over them to do good for them, and I’ll faithfully plant them in this land with all my heart and soul.’
