Now therefore, because of this, - Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, - Concerning this city, whereof ye are saying, It hath been delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, by sword, and by famine and by pestilence:

Behold me! gathering them out of all the lands whither I have driven them - In mine anger and In mine indignation and In great vexation, - And I will cause them to return into this place, And will make them dwell, securely;

And they shall become my people, - And, I, will become their God;

And I will give them one heart, and one way, That they may revere me, all the days, - For the good of them and of their children after them;

And I will solemnise to them an age-abiding covenant, That I will not turn away from following them, to do them good, - But the reverence of myself, will I put in their heart, so that they shall not turn away from me.

And I will rejoice over them, to do them good, - And will plant them in this land in truth, with all my heart and with all my soul.
