The LORD’s word in the letter, telling the captives to build houses, and promising their return after seventy years for Babylon

편지에 적은, 포로에게 집을 짓고 거하라 하시고 바벨론에서 칠십년이 차면 돌아오게 하리라 하신 여호와의 말씀

Jeremiah 29:4–14: the letter says, “The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says to all the captives whom I have caused to be carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon: ‘Build houses and dwell in them. Plant gardens and eat their fruit. Take wives and father sons and daughters. Take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters. Multiply there, and don’t be diminished. Seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the LORD for it; for in its peace you will have peace.’ For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: ‘Don’t let your prophets who are among you and your diviners deceive you. Don’t listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed. For they prophesy falsely to you in my name. I have not sent them,’ says the LORD. For the LORD says, ‘After seventy years are accomplished for Babylon, I will visit you and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,’ says the LORD, ‘thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You shall seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart. I will be found by you,’ says the LORD, ‘and I will turn again your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places where I have driven you,’ says the LORD. ‘I will bring you again to the place from where I caused you to be carried away captive.’” The Korean Revised Version closes the LORD’s words at the end of 29:14 (하셨느니라); at 29:9 it puts first 내가 그들을 보내지 아니하였어도, which WEB gives last (“I have not sent them”), and at 29:10 it reads 바벨론에서 칠십년이 차면 (when seventy years are fulfilled at Babylon).
