Jeremiah 40:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² When the captain of the guard found Jeremiah, he said to him, “The Lord your God pronounced this disaster on this place, ³ and the Lord has brought it about and has done what he said he would do. This took place because you people^[a] sinned against the Lord and did not obey him. ⁴ But now, today, I am removing the chains from your wrists. If you wish, come with me to Babylon. I will take care of you. But if this does not seem good to you, then don’t come. The whole land is before you. If there is a place that seems good and right to you, go there.”
