Thereafter, Promise of Restoration

36 Now, therefore, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, concerning the city of which ye say that hunger, famine and pestilence have already as good as delivered it into the hands of the king of Babylon: 37 See! I will gather them out of all the lands to which, in My great wrath, anger, and fury, I have driven them, for I will bring them back to this place and settle them here securely; 38 and they shall be My people, and I will be their God. 39 A single heart I will give them, and a single way (will I set before them), that they may hold Me in reverence for ever, and that they and their children after them may prosper; 40 and I will make with them an everlasting covenant to follow them ceaselessly with My blessing, and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts, that they may follow Me without swerving. 41 It will also be a joy to Me to do them good; and faithfully, with all My heart and soul, I will plant them in this land.

42 For thus saith Jehovah, As surely as I have brought upon this people all this mass of misery, so surely will I bring upon them all the blessings I promise them. 43 In this land that ye call a desolation, forsaken of man and beast and delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans, fields shall be bought once more. 44 Yes, men shall buy fields for money, subscribing and sealing the deeds, and taking witnesses, in the district of Benjamin and the neighbourhood of Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, the lowland, and the south. For I will restore their fortunes, saith Jehovah.
