Jeremiah 32:31-44

Jeremiah 32:31-44

[31] For this city  hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger  and of my fury  from the day  that they built  it even unto this day;  that I should remove  it from before my face,  [32] Because of all the evil  of the children  of Israel  and of the children  of Judah,  which they have done  to provoke me to anger,  they, their kings,  their princes,  their priests,  and their prophets,  and the men  of Judah,  and the inhabitants  of Jerusalem.  [33] And they have turned  unto me the back,  and not the face:  though I taught  them, rising up early  and teaching  them, yet they have not hearkened  to receive  instruction.  [34] But they set  their abominations  in the house,  which is called  by my name,  to defile  [35] And they built  the high places  of Baal,  which are in the valley  of the son  of Hinnom,  to cause their sons  and their daughters  to pass  through the fire unto Molech;  which I commanded  them not, neither came  it into my mind,  that they should do  this abomination,  to cause Judah  to sin.  [36] And now therefore thus saith  the LORD,  the God  of Israel,  concerning this city,  whereof ye say,  It shall be delivered  into the hand  of the king  of Babylon  by the sword,  and by the famine,  and by the pestilence;  [37] Behold, I will gather them out  of all countries,  whither I have driven  them in mine anger,  and in my fury,  and in great  wrath;  and I will bring them again  unto this place,  and I will cause them to dwell  safely:  [38] And they shall be my people,  and I will be their God:  [39] And I will give  them one  heart,  and one  way,  that they may fear  me for ever,  for the good  of them, and of their children  after  them: [40] And I will make  an everlasting  covenant  with them, that I will not turn away  from them,  to do them good;  but I will put  my fear  in their hearts,  that they shall not depart  from me. [41] Yea, I will rejoice  over them to do them good,  and I will plant  them in this land  assuredly  with my whole heart  and with my whole soul.  [42] For thus saith  the LORD;  Like as I have brought  all this great  evil  upon this people,  so will I bring  upon them all the good  that I have promised  [43] And fields  shall be bought  in this land,  whereof ye say,  It is desolate  without man  or beast;  it is given  into the hand  of the Chaldeans.  [44] Men shall buy  fields  for money,  and subscribe  evidences,  and seal  them, and take  witnesses  in the land  of Benjamin,  and in the places about  Jerusalem,  and in the cities  of Judah,  and in the cities  of the mountains,  and in the cities  of the valley,  and in the cities  of the south:  for I will cause their captivity  to return,  saith  the LORD.
