Jeremiah 40:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

² Now the captain of the bodyguard had taken Jeremiah and said to him, “The ^(A)Lord your God promised this calamity against this place; ³ and the Lord has brought it on and done just as He promised. Because you people ^(B)sinned against the Lord and did not listen to His voice, therefore this thing has happened to you. ⁴ But now, behold, I am ^(C)freeing you today from the chains which are on your hands. If ^[a]you would prefer to come with me to Babylon, come along, and I will ^[b]look after you; but if ^[c]you would prefer not to come with me to Babylon, ^[d]never mind. Look, the ^(D)whole land is before you; go wherever it seems good and right for you to go.”
