Jeremiah 42:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ Now you fear the king of Babylon, but don’t be afraid of him. Don’t be afraid of him,’ says the Lord, ‘because I am with you. I will save you and ·rescue [protect] you from his ·power [^Lhand]. ¹² I will be ·kind [compassionate; merciful] to you, and he will also treat you with ·mercy [kindness; compassion] and ·let you stay [restore you] in your land.’

¹³ “But if you say, ‘We will not stay in this land [^CJudah],’ you will ·disobey [not listen to the voice of] the Lord your God.
