Jeremia 29,11

The future and plansHopeGod's will and callingGod's faithfulness

9 De profeterer løgn for dere i mitt navn. Jeg har ikke sendt dem,” erklærer Herren.

10 For så sier Herren: “Når sytti år er fullført for Babylon, vil jeg besøke dere og oppfylle mitt gode løfte om å føre dere tilbake til dette stedet.

For jeg vet hvilke planer jeg har for dere,” erklærer Herren, “planer om å gi dere fremtid og håp, og ikke skade dere.

12 Da skal dere påkalle meg, komme til meg og be, og jeg vil høre på dere.

13 Dere skal søke meg, og dere skal finne meg, når dere søker meg av hele deres hjerte.

Original text and word study

Short explanation

God has thoughts of peace and a future for his people. The verse was written to the Jews taken captive to Babylon, with a promise that they would come home after a long time. It is not a promise that everything goes smoothly, but that God has not abandoned them.

Context: A letter from the prophet Jeremiah to those taken into exile.
