²⁸ And just as I have ^(A)watched over them to ^(B)uproot them, tear them down, ruin, destroy, and bring disaster on them, so I will watch over them to ^(C)build and to plant them,” declares the Lord.

²⁷ Behold, I am watching over them ^(A)for harm and not for good, and ^(B)all the people of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will ^[a]meet their end by the sword or by famine until they ^[b]are completely gone.
