37. I will gather them from all the countries where I have scattered them in my fierce anger and rage. I will bring them back to this place to live securely.
38. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
39. I will give them one heart and one mind so that they may worship me all the days of their lives, for their own good and for the good of their children after them.
40. I will make an everlasting covenant with them, never to stop treating them graciously. I will put into their hearts a sense of awe for me so that they won’t turn away from me.
41. I will rejoice in treating them graciously, and I will plant them in this land faithfully and with all my heart and being.
42. The Lord proclaims: Just as I brought this great disaster on this people, so I will bring on them all the good I promised them.
43. Fields will be bought in this land, a land you have said is bleak and uninhabited and in the possession of the Babylonians.
44. Fields will be bought, and deeds will be signed, sealed, and witnessed in the land of Benjamin and in the outlying areas of Jerusalem, in the towns of Judah and in the highlands, in the towns of the western foothills and the arid southern plain; for I will bring them back from their captivity, declares the Lord.
