to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Yirmeyahu, until the land had enjoyed its Shabbatot: [for] as long as it lay desolate it kept Shabbat, to fulfill seventy years.
Thus says the Lord GOD: In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built.
They shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of `Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.
I will stretch out my hand on them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
