NET Bible
"In the past I saw to it that they were uprooted and torn down, that they were destroyed and demolished and brought disaster. But now I will see to it that they are built up and firmly planted. I, the LORD, affirm it!”"
— Jeremiah 31:28, NET Bible
“And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Lord.”
“And it shall come to pass that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so will I watch over them to build and to plant, saith Jehovah. ”
“It shall happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so will I watch over them to build and to plant, says Yahweh.”
“And as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to throw down, and to scatter, and destroy, and afflict: so will I watch over them, to build up, and to plant them, saith the Lord.”
“And it will come about that, as I have been watching over them for the purpose of uprooting and smashing down and overturning and sending destruction and causing trouble; so I will be watching over them for the purpose of building up and planting, says the Lord.”
“And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Lord.”
I will fully satisfy the needs of those who are weary and fully refresh the souls of those who are faint.
Then they will say,‘Under these conditions I can enjoy sweet sleep when I wake up and look around.’”
Israel and Judah Will Be Repopulated“Indeed, a time is coming,” says the LORD,“when I will cause people and animals to sprout up in the lands of Israel and Judah.
In the past I saw to it that they were uprooted and torn down, that they were destroyed and demolished and brought disaster. But now I will see to it that they are built up and firmly planted. I, the LORD, affirm it!”
The Lord Will Make a New Covenant with Israel and Judah“When that time comes, people will no longer say,‘The parents have eaten sour grapes, but the children’s teeth have grown numb.’
Rather, each person will die for his own sins. The teeth of the person who eats the sour grapes will themselves grow numb.
“Indeed, a time is coming,” says the LORD,“when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah.
