Jeremiah 40:2-4

Contemporary English Version

² Nebuzaradan said:

Jeremiah, the Lord your God warned your people that he would bring disaster on this land. ³ But they continued to rebel against him, and now he has punished them just as he threatened.

⁴ Today I am taking the chains off your wrists and setting you free! If you want to, you can come with me to Babylonia, and I will see that you are taken care of. Or if you decide to stay here, you can go wherever you wish.
