Jeremiah told them, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition:
10
‘If you will indeed stay in this land, then I will build you up and not tear you down; I will plant you and not uproot you, for I will relent of the disaster I have brought upon you.
11
Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you now fear; do not be afraid of him, declares the LORD, for I am with you to save you and deliver you from him.
12
And I will show you compassion, and he will have compassion on you and restore you to your own land.’
