Jeremiah 40:1-4

Jeremiah Remains in Judah

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord ^aafter Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from ^bRamah, when he took him ^cbound in chains along with all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah who were being exiled to Babylon. 2 The captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him, ^d“The Lord your God pronounced this disaster against this place. 3 The Lord has brought it about, and has done as he said. ^eBecause 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 ^fthe chains on your hands. ^gIf it seems good to you to come with me to Babylon, come, and I will look after you well, ^hbut if it seems wrong to you to come with me to Babylon, do not come. ⁱSee, the whole land is before you; go wherever you think it good and right to go.
