⁶ For I will keep my eyes on them for good, and I will take them back again to this land, building them up and not pulling them down, planting them and not uprooting them.

¹⁰ If you still go on living in the land, then I will go on building you up and not pulling you down, planting you and not uprooting you: for my purpose of doing evil to you has been changed.

¹⁰ For this is what the Lord has said: When seventy years are ended for Babylon, I will have pity on you and give effect to my good purpose for you, causing you to come back to this place.

⁷ And I will let the fate of Judah and of Israel be changed, building them up as at first.

⁴¹ And truly, I will take pleasure in doing them good, and all my heart and soul will be given to planting them in this land in good faith.

¹⁵ And it will come about that, after they have been uprooted, I will again have pity on them; and I will take them back, every man to his heritage and every man to his land.

³⁷ See, I will get them together from all the countries where I have sent them in my wrath and in the heat of my passion and in my bitter feeling; and I will let them come back into this place where they may take their rest safely.

¹⁰ See, this day I have put you over the nations and over the kingdoms, for uprooting and smashing down, for destruction and overturning, for building up and planting.

¹² For the eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

²⁴ For I will take you out from among the nations, and get you together from all the countries, and take you into your land.

³ And I will get the rest of my flock together from all the countries where I have sent them, and will make them come back again to their resting-place; and they will have offspring and be increased.

¹⁰ For my face is turned to this town for evil and not for good, says the Lord: it will be given into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will have it burned with fire.

¹⁵ The eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their cry.

²⁷ He makes a song, saying, I did wrong, turning from the straight way, but he did not give me the reward of my sin.

²⁸ He kept my soul from the underworld, and my life sees the light in full measure.

¹⁹ Keep in mind, O my God, for my good, all I have done for this people.

⁹ For the eyes of the Lord go this way and that, through all the earth, letting it be seen that he is the strong support of those whose hearts are true to him. In this you have done foolishly, for from now you will have wars.

¹² A land cared for by the Lord your God: the eyes of the Lord your God are on it at all times from one end of the year to the other.

¹⁵ Son of man, your countrymen, your relations, and all the children of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the people of Jerusalem have said, Go far from the Lord; this land is given to us for a heritage:

¹⁶ For this reason say, This is what the Lord has said: Though I have had them moved far off among the nations, and though I have sent them wandering among the countries, still I have been a safe place for them for a little time in the countries where they have come.

¹⁷ Then say, This is what the Lord has said: I will get you together from the peoples, and make you come out of the countries where you have been sent in flight, and I will give you the land of Israel.

⁷ Whenever I say anything about uprooting a nation or a kingdom, and smashing it and sending destruction on it;

⁸ If, in that very minute, that nation of which I was talking is turned away from its evil, my purpose of doing evil to them will be changed.

⁹ And whenever I say anything about building up a nation or a kingdom, and planting it;
