Jeremiah 29:9-11

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁹ for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you in my name; I did not send them, says the Lord.^(A)

¹⁰ For thus says the Lord: Only when Babylon’s seventy years are completed will I visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place.^{(B) 11} For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.^(C)
