36 So now Yisrael’s god Yahweh has something to say about this city that you’ve all been talking about, saying, ‘It’s been handed over to the Babylonian king due to war, famine, and deadly diseases.’ 37 Listen, I’ll gather them back from every land where I had banished them to in my rage, fury, and great anger. I’m about to bring them back to this place and enable them to live in security, 38 and then they’ll be my people and I’ll be their god. 39 I’ll give them a united vision and a single way to honour me every day so that it’ll turn out good for them and for their descendants after them. 40 Then I’ll make a permanent agreement with them, that I won’t turn away from doing good to them. I’ll set honour for me in their minds, so that they’ll never turn away from me. 41 Then I’ll take pleasure in doing good to them. I’ll faithfully plant them in this land with all my heart and all my life 42 because Yahweh says this, ‘Just as I have brought all this great disaster on this people, so too I’ll bring on them all the good things that I’ve said I’d do for them. 43 Then people will buy fields in this land, about which you’ve been saying, “This land is ruined, without people or even animals living on it. It’s been handed over to the Babylonians.” 44 They’ll use silver to buy fields and will write in sealed scrolls. They’ll assemble witnesses in the Benyamin region, all around Yerushalem and Yehudah’s other cities of Judah, in the cities in the hill country and in the lowlands, and in the cities of the Negev, because I’ll bring back their fortunes. That is Yahweh’s declaration.
