24 ‘Look, the siege mounds! They have come to the city to take it; and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of athe sword and famine and pestilence. What You have spoken has happened; there You see it!
25 And You have said to me, O Lord God, “Buy the field for money, and take witnesses”!—yet the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’ ”
God’s Assurance of the People’s Return
26 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the aGod of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?
28 Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it.
29 And the Chaldeans who fight against this city shall come and aset fire to this city and burn it, with the houses bon whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke Me to anger;
30 because the children of Israel and the children of Judah ahave done only evil before Me from their youth. For the children of Israel have provoked Me only to anger with the work of their hands,’ says the Lord.
31 ‘For this city has been to Me a provocation of My anger and My fury from the day that they built it, even to this day; aso I will remove it from before My face
32 because of all the evil of the children of Israel and the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke Me to anger—athey, their kings, their princes, their priests, btheir prophets, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
33 And they have turned to Me the aback, and not the face; though I taught them, brising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.
34 But they aset their abominations in the house which is called by My name, to defile it.
35 And they built the high places of Baal which are in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to acause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to bMolech, cwhich I did not command them, nor did it come into My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.’
36 “Now therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you say, ‘It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence’:
37 Behold, I will agather them out of all countries where I have driven them in My anger, in My fury, and in great wrath; I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them bto dwell safely.
38 They shall be aMy people, and I will be their God;
39 then I will agive them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them.
40 And aI will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but bI will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me.
41 Yes, aI will rejoice over them to do them good, and bI will assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.’
42 “For thus says the Lord: a‘Just as I have brought all this great calamity on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them.
43 And fields will be bought in this land aof which you say, “It is desolate, without man or beast; it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”
44 Men will buy fields for money, sign deeds and seal them, and take witnesses, in athe land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the1 lowland, and in the cities of the2 South; for bI will cause their captives to return,’ says the Lord.”
