Jeremiah 40:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible
2 And the captain of the bodyguard had taken Jeremiah and said to him, “(A)Yahweh your God promised this calamity against this place; 3 and Yahweh has brought it on and done just as He promised. Because you people (B)sinned against Yahweh and did not listen to His voice, therefore this thing has happened to you. 4 So now, behold, I am (C)freeing you today from the chains which are on your hands. If it is good in your eyes to come with me to Babylon, come along, and I will set my eyes to look after you; but if it [a]is displeasing in your eyes to come with me to Babylon, [b]never mind. Look, the (D)whole land is before you; go wherever it seems good and right in your eyes to go.”
