Jeremías 29:14 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 29:14

And I will be found of you, saith the Lord
As he is; when his favour is shown, his presence is enjoyed, and the blessing sought for is obtained: and I will turn away your captivity;
this designs the captivity of Jeconiah, or of the Jews that were carried captive with him; and which had its accomplishment when the Jews returned to their own land, upon the edict of Cyrus: and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places
whither I have driven you, saith the Lord;
for though the greatest part might be carried to Babylon, and continue there; yet others might be removed or moved into other countries; and besides, this may respect their brethren who should come into captivity, and return with them at the end of the seventy years; for the expressions are very large and general: and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be
carried away captive;
that is, Jerusalem, and the land of Judea; though the Vulgate Latin version renders it,

``and I will make you to return from the place to which I have caused you to go captive;''

meaning Babylon. The sense comes to the same; but the common rendering is most agreeable to the Hebrew text.

Jeremías 29:14 In-Context

12 Entonces ustedes me invocarán, y vendrán a suplicarme, y yo los escucharé.

13 Me buscarán y me encontrarán, cuando me busquen de todo corazón.

14 Me dejaré encontrar —afirma el SEÑOR—, y los haré volver del cautiverio. Yo los reuniré de todas las naciones y de todos los lugares adonde los haya dispersado, y los haré volver al lugar del cual los deporté», afirma el SEÑOR.

15 Ustedes podrán decir: «El SEÑOR nos ha dado profetas en Babilonia»,

16 pero esto es lo que dice el SEÑOR acerca del rey que ocupa el trono de David, y acerca de todo el pueblo que aún queda en esta ciudad, es decir, de sus hermanos que no fueron con ustedes al exilio.
