10If you will indeed remain in this land, then I will build you up and not tear you down, and I will plant you and not uproot you; for I relent concerning the harm that I did to you.

11Do not fear the king of Babylon, before whom you are afraid. Do not fear him, declares Yahweh, for I am with you to save you and to deliver you from his hand.

12And I will show you mercy, and he will have mercy on you and restore you to your own land.
