10For this is what Yahweh says: When seventy years for Babylon are completed, I will attend to you and fulfill my good word to you, to bring you back to this place.

11For I know the plans that I have for you, declares Yahweh, plans for peace and not for harm, to give you a future and a hope.

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

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

14And I will let myself be found by you, declares Yahweh, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, declares Yahweh, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.
