36 “Now therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you say, ‘It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, by famine, and by pestilence’: 37 Behold, I will ⁿgather them from all the countries to which I drove them in my anger and my wrath and in great indignation. I will bring them back to this place, and I will make them dwell in safety. 38 And ^othey shall be my people, and I will be their God. 39 ^pI will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, ^qfor their own good and the good of their children after them. 40 I will make with them an ^reverlasting covenant, that I will not turn away from doing good to them. And I will ^sput the fear of me in their hearts, that they may not turn from me. 41 I will ^trejoice in doing them good, and I will ^uplant them in this land in faithfulness, with all my heart and all my soul.

14 Thus says the Lord concerning all my evil neighbors who touch the heritage that I have given my people Israel to inherit: “Behold, I will pluck them up from their land, and I will pluck up the house of Judah from among them. 15 And after I have plucked them up, I will again have compassion on them, and I will ^zbring them again each to his heritage and each to his land. 16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, ‘As the Lord lives,’ even as they taught my people to swear by Baal, then they shall be built up in the midst of my people. 17 But if any nation will not listen, then I will utterly pluck it up and destroy it, declares the Lord.”
