^9 (A)but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, ^(B)though your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there I will gather them and bring them ^(C)to the place that I have chosen, to make my name dwell there.’

^11 (A)For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare^[a] and not for evil, ^(B)to give you a future and a hope. ^12 (C)Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, ^(D)and I will hear you. ^13 (E)You will seek me and find me, when you seek me ^(F)with all your heart. ¹⁴ I will be found by you, declares the Lord, ^(G)and I will restore your fortunes and ^(H)gather you from all the nations and all the places ^(I)where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.

⁵ But you shall seek ^(A)the place that the Lord your God will choose out of all your tribes to put his name and make his habitation^[a] there. There you shall go,

^29 (A)But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. ³⁰ When you are in tribulation, and all these things come upon you ^(B)in the latter days, you will return to the Lord your God and obey his voice. ³¹ For the Lord your God is ^(C)a merciful God. ^(D)He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them.

^24 (A)I will take you ^(B)from the nations and gather you from all the countries and ^(C)bring you into your own land.

^37 (A)Behold, I will gather them from all the countries ^(B)to which I drove them in ^(C)my anger and my wrath and in great indignation. I will bring them back to this place, ^(D)and I will make them dwell in safety.
