9For they prophecie falsly vnto you in my name: I haue not sent them, saith the Lord. 10¶ For thus saith the Lord, That after seuentie yeeres be accomplished at Babylon, I will visite you, and performe my good word towards you, in causing you to returne to this place. 11For I knowe the thoughts that I thinke towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of euill, to giue you an expected end. 12Then shall ye call vpon me, and ye shall goe and pray vnto mee, and I will hearken vnto you. 13And ye shall seeke me, and finde me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
