40. With them I will make an everlasting covenant, never to cease doing good to them; I will put fear of me in their hearts so that they never turn away from me.
41. I will take delight in doing good to them: I will plant them firmly in this land, with all my heart and soul.
42. For thus says the Lord: Just as I have brought upon this people all this great evil, so I will bring upon them all the good I have promised them.
43. Fields shall be purchased in this land, about which you say, “It is a wasteland, without human beings or animals, handed over to the Chaldeans.”
