Jeremiah 42:10-13
42:10 ‘If you will just stay
in this land, I will build you up. I will not tear you down. I will firmly plant you.
I will not uproot you. For I am filled with sorrow because of the disaster that I have brought on you.
42:11 Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon whom you now fear.
Do not be afraid of him because I will be with you to save you and to rescue you from his power. I, the
Lord, affirm it!
42:12 I will have compassion on you so that he in turn will have mercy on you and allow you to return to your land.’
42:13 “You must not disobey the Lord your God by saying, ‘We will not stay in this land.’
Psalms 37:3
37:3 Trust in the Lord and do what is right!
Settle in the land and maintain your integrity!
