God Commands Them to Remain in Judah
Jeremiah 42:8-12
8
Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
9
and said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him:
10
If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.
11
Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith Jehovah: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
12
And I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
