Jeremiah 32:42-44
Christian Standard Bible
42 “For this is what the Lord says: Just as I have brought all this terrible disaster on these people,(A) so am I about to bring on them all the good I am promising them. 43 Fields will be bought in this land about which you are saying,(B) ‘It’s a desolation(C) without people or animals; it has been handed over to the Chaldeans!’ 44 Fields will be purchased, the transaction written on a scroll and sealed,(D) and witnesses will be called on in the land of Benjamin,(E) in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, and in Judah’s cities—the cities of the hill country, the cities of the Judean foothills, and the cities of the Negev—because I will restore their fortunes.”[a]
This is the Lord’s declaration.

Jeremiah 32:42-44
International Standard Version
42 “Indeed, this is what the Lord says: ‘Just as I’m bringing all this great disaster on this people, so I’ll bring on them all the good things that I’m promising concerning them. 43 Fields will be bought in this land about which you will say, “It is a desolate place without people or animals. It is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.” 44 People[a] will buy fields for money, sign deeds, seal them, and call witnesses in the land of Benjamin, in the areas around Jerusalem, in the towns of Judah, the towns of the hill country, the towns of the Shephelah,[b] and the towns of the Negev,[c] for I’ll restore their fortunes,’ declares the Lord.”
