Jeremiah 29:9-12 English Standard Version (ESV)

9. for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you in my name; I did not send them, declares the Lord.

10. “For thus says the Lord: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place.

11. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

12. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.
