And so the things the Lord told the people of Israel through the prophet Jeremiah really happened. The Lord had said through Jeremiah: “This place will be an empty wasteland for 70 years. {\cf2\super [456]} This will happen to make up for the Sabbath rests {\cf2\super [457]} that the people didn’t do.”
The Lord says:\par “Jacob’s {\cf2\super [243]} people are now in captivity.\par But they will come back.\par And I will have pity on Jacob’s houses.\par The city {\cf2\super [244]} is now only an empty hill\par covered with ruined buildings.\par But the city will be built again on its hill.\par And the king’s house will be built again\par where it should be.\par
