God Commands Them to Remain in Judah
Jeremiah 42:8-12
8
And he called Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the fighting men that were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest.
9
And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel, to whom you sent me, to present your supplications before him:
10
If you will be quiet and remain in this land, I will build you up, and not pull you down: I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for now I am appeased for the evil that I have done to you.
11
Fear not because of the king of Babylon, of whom you are greatly afraid: fear him not, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
12
And I will shew mercies to you, and will take pity on you, and will cause you to dwell in your own land.
