Jeremiah 32:36-41

New International Reader's Version

³⁶ Here is what you people of Judah are saying about this city. “By war, hunger and plague it will be handed over to the king of Babylon.” But here is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says. ³⁷ “You can be sure that I will gather my people again. I will send them away when my burning anger blazes out against them. But I will bring them back to this place. And I will let them live in safety. ³⁸ They will be my people. And I will be their God. ³⁹ I will give them a single purpose in life. Then, they will always have respect for me. Then all will go well for them. And it will also go well for their children after them. ⁴⁰ I will make a covenant with them that will last forever. I promise that I will never stop doing good to them. I will cause them to respect me. Then they will never turn away from me again. ⁴¹ I will take pleasure in doing good things for them. I will certainly plant them in this land. I will do these things with all my heart and soul.”
