Jeremiah 29:9-11
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 29:9-11
Contemporary English Version
8-9 Some of your people there in Babylonia are fortunetellers, and you have asked them to tell you what will happen in the future. But they will only lead you astray with their dreams.[a] And don't let the prophets fool you, either. They speak in my name, but they are liars. I have not spoken to them.
10 (A) After Babylonia has been the strongest nation for 70 years, I will be kind and bring you back to Jerusalem, just as I have promised. 11 I will bless you with a future filled with hope—a future of success, not of suffering.
