"Now therefore the LORD God of Israel says the following concerning this city of which you say, 'It has been handed over to the king of Babylon by sword, by famine, and by plague':

And now therefore thus saith the Lord , the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;

"Behold, I am going to gather them out of all the lands to which I have driven them in My anger, in My wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them back to this place and have them live in safety.

Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:

"They shall be My people, and I will be their God;

And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

and I will give them one heart and one way, so that they will fear Me always, for their own good and for the good of their children after them.

And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

"I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts, so that they will not turn away from Me.

And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

"I will rejoice over them to do them good and will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and all My soul.

Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
