8
"For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Do not let your 1prophets who are in your midst and your diviners 2deceive you, and do not listen to a3the dreams which bthey dream.
9
'For they 4prophesy falsely to you in My name ; 5I have not sent them,' declares the LORD.
10
"For thus says the LORD, 'When 6seventy years have been completed for Babylon, I will visit you and fulfill My 7good word to you, to bring you back to this place.
11
'For I know the 8plans that I chave for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for 9welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a 10hope.

18
'I will pursue them with the sword, with famine and with pestilence ; and I will 23make them a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a 24curse and a horror and a 25hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them,
