Jeremiah 40:2-4

New Living Translation

² The captain of the guard called for Jeremiah and said, “The Lord your God has brought this disaster on this land, ³ just as he said he would. For these people have sinned against the Lord and disobeyed him. That is why it happened. ⁴ But I am going to take off your chains and let you go. If you want to come with me to Babylon, you are welcome. I will see that you are well cared for. But if you don’t want to come, you may stay here. The whole land is before you—go wherever you like.
