²⁷ The Lord says, “The ·time is [^Ldays are] coming when I will ·help [^Lsow] the ·families [^Lhouses] of Israel and Judah ·and their children [^Lwith the seed of humans] and ·animals to grow [^Lseed of animals]. ²⁸ In the past I watched over them [^CIsrael and Judah; 1:12], to ·pull [pluck] them up and ·tear [pull] them down, to destroy them and bring them ·disaster [harm; trouble]. But now I will watch over them to build them up and ·make them strong [to plant them; 1:10],” says the Lord.
