Jeremiah 29:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 29:11

9 For they prophesy ^afalsely to you in My name; I have not sent them, says the Lord.

10 For thus says the Lord: After ^aseventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to ^breturn to this place.

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

12 Then you will ^acall upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will ^blisten to you.

13 And ^ayou will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me ^bwith all your heart.

14 ^aI will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; ^bI will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.

15 Because you have said, “The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon”—
