Jeremiah 40:2-4

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

² The captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him, ‘The Lord your God threatened this place with this disaster; ³ and now the Lord has brought it about, and has done as he said, because all of you sinned against the Lord and did not obey his voice. Therefore this thing has come upon you. ⁴ Now look, I have just released you today from the fetters on your hands. If you wish to come with me to Babylon, come, and I will take good care of you; but if you do not wish to come with me to Babylon, you need not come. See, the whole land is before you; go wherever you think it good and right to go.
