God Commands Them to Remain in Judah
Jeremiah 42:8-12
8
Then called he Yochanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
9
and said to them, Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before him:
10
If you will still live in this land, then I will build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I grieve over the distress that I have brought on you.
11
Don’t be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; don’t be afraid of him, says the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
12
I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you to return to your own land.
