Jeremiah 42:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ Now you are afraid of the king of Babylon. But don’t be afraid of him. Don’t be afraid of the king of Babylon,’ says the Lord. ‘I am with you. I will save you. I will rescue you from his power. ¹² I will be kind to you. And the king of Babylon will also treat you with mercy. He will bring you back to your land.’

¹³ “But you might say, ‘We will not stay in Judah.’ If you say that, you will disobey the Lord your God.
