New International Version

Jeremiah 29:9-15 New International Version (NIV)

9. They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them,” declares the Lord.

10. This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place.

11. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

12. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

13. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

14. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

15. You may say, “The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,”
