6 Whether it be good or evil, we will obey the voice of Adonai our God, to whom we are sending you, so that it may go well with us, when we obey the voice of Adonai our God.”
7 Now it was at the end of ten days that the word of Adonai came to Jeremiah.
8 Then he called Johanan son of Kareah, and all the commanders of the forces that were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest,
9 and said to them, “Thus says Adonai, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before Him:
10 ‘If you will still stay in this land, then will I build you up and not tear you down, and I will plant you and not uproot you. For I will relent concerning the calamity that I have done to you.
11 Do not be not afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you dread—do not be afraid of him”—it is a declaration of Adonai—“for I am with you to save you, and deliver you from his hand.
12 I will also show you compassion and he will have compassion on you, and restore you to your own soil.
