And the nations left all around you shall know that I, Jehovah, built the torn down places and planted that which was desolated. I, Jehovah, have spoken it and will do it.
Then our mouth was full of laughter, and our tongue gave a ringing cry of joy; then they said among the nations, Jehovah will work great things with these.
If you will still remain in this land even I will build you up, and will not tear you down. And I will plant you, and will not pluck you up. For I repent as to the evil that I have done to you.
And all the trees of the field shall know that I, Jehovah, have brought down the high tree. and have exalted the low tree, and have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree flourish. I, Jehovah, have spoken and acted.
I, Jehovah, have spoken; it shall come, and I will do it. I will not let go, and I will not spare, I will not pity. By your ways and by your doings they shall judge you, a statement of the Lord Jehovah.
And I shall make My Spirit rest within you, and you shall live; and I will make you rest on your own land. And you shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken and have done it, a statement of Jehovah.
God is not a man that He should lie, or a son of man that He should repent. Has He said, and shall He not do it? And has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?
