24:029:007 And seek the peace of the city whither
I have caused you to be
carried
away captives, and pray unto the lord for it:
for in
the
peace thereof shall ye have peace.
24:029:008 For thus saith the lord of hosts,
the God of Israel; Let not
your
prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of
you,
deceive
you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause
to
be
dreamed.
24:029:009 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my
name: I have not sent
them,
saith the lord.
24:029:010 For thus saith the lord, That after
seventy years be
accomplished
at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good
word
toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
24:029:011 For I know the thoughts that I think toward
you, saith the
lord,
thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an
expected
end.
24:029:012 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall
go and pray unto me,
and
I will hearken unto you.
24:029:013 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when
ye shall search for me
with
all your heart.
24:029:014 And I will be found of you, saith the lord:
and I will turn
away
your captivity, and I will gather you from all the
nations,
and from all the places whither I have driven you,
saith
the lord; and I will bring you again into the
place
whence
I caused you to be carried away captive.
24:029:015 Because ye have said, The lord hath
raised us up prophets in
Babylon;
24:029:016 Know that thus saith the lord of the
king that sitteth upon
the
throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth
in
this
city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth
with
you
into captivity;
24:029:017 Thus saith the lord of hosts; Behold,
I will send upon them
the
sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make
them
like
vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
24:029:018 And I will persecute them with the sword,
with the famine, and
with
the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed
to
all
the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an
astonishment,
and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the
nations
whither I have driven them:
24:029:019 Because they have not hearkened to my words,
saith the lord,
which
I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising
up
early
and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the
lord.
24:029:020 Hear ye therefore the word of the lord,
all ye of the
captivity,
whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:
