Jeremiah 32:40

Jeremiah 32:40

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.”
