Jeremiah 29:11-14
For thus says the LORD: After seventy years are completed
at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause
you to return to this place. 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. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to
Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when
you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says
the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I 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. |
