‏ Jeremiah 32:15

15 For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, ^{▼▼tn Heb “Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel.” For this title see 7:3 and the study notes on 2:19.} says, ‘Houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land.’ ^{▼▼sn The significance of the symbolic act performed by Jeremiah, as explained here, was a further promise (see the “again” statements in 31:4, 5, 23 and the “no longer” statements in 31:12, 29, 34, 40) of future restoration beyond the destruction implied in vv. 3-5. After the interruption of exile, normal life of buying and selling of fields, etc. would again be resumed, and former property rights would be recognized.}
