41 I will (A)rejoice over them to do them good and will [a]faithfully (B)plant them in this land with (C)all My heart and all My soul. 42 For this is what the Lord says: ‘(D)Just as I brought all this great disaster on this people, so I am going to (E)bring on them all the good that I am promising them. 43 And (F)fields will be purchased in this land of which you say, “(G)It is a desolation, without man or animal; it has been handed over to the Chaldeans.” 44 People will buy fields for money, [b](H)sign and seal [c]deeds, and call in witnesses in the (I)land of Benjamin, in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the [d]Negev; for I will (J)restore their fortunes,’ declares the Lord.”
