Jeremiah 40:2-4

Revised Standard Version

² The captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him, “The Lord your God pronounced this evil against this place; ³ the Lord has brought it about, and has done as he said. Because you sinned against the Lord, and did not obey his voice, this thing has come upon you. ⁴ Now, behold, I release you today from the chains on your hands. If it seems good to you to come with me to Babylon, come, and I will look after you well; but if it seems wrong to you to come with me to Babylon, do not come. See, the whole land is before you; go wherever you think it good and right to go.
