¹⁵ For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Houses and fields and vineyards shall be ^(A)possessed again in this land.” ’

⁴³ And fields will be bought in this land ^(A)of which you say, “It is desolate, without man or beast; it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”

⁴⁴ Men will buy fields for money, sign deeds and seal them, and take witnesses, in ^(A)the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the ^[a]lowland, and in the cities of the ^[b]South; for ^(B)I will cause their captives to return,’ says the Lord.”
