New English Translation
13 In the presence of all these people I instructed Baruch, 14 ‘The Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel,[a] says, “Take these documents, both the sealed copy of the deed of purchase and the unsealed copy. Put them in a clay jar so that they may be preserved for a long time to come.”’[b] 15 For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel,[c] says, ‘Houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land.’[d]
