2
“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Write down for the record everything I have said to you, Jeremiah.
3
For the time is coming when I will restore the fortunes of my people of Israel and Judah. I will bring them home to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and they will possess it again. I, the LORD, have spoken!”
4
This is the message the LORD gave concerning Israel and Judah.
5
