37 I will certainly bring my people back again from all the countries where I will scatter them in my fury. I will bring them back to this very city and let them live in peace and safety.
38 They will be my people, and I will be their God.
39 And I will give them one heart and one purpose: to worship me forever, for their own good and for the good of all their descendants.
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good for them. I will put a desire in their hearts to worship me, and they will never leave me.
41 I will find joy doing good for them and will faithfully and wholeheartedly replant them in this land.
42 “This is what the lord says: Just as I have brought all these calamities on them, so I will do all the good I have promised them.
43 Fields will again be bought and sold in this land about which you now say, ‘It has been ravaged by the Babylonians, a desolate land where people and animals have all disappeared.’
