44 And yet for all this, while they continue in the land of their enemies, I shall certainly not reject them+ nor abhor them+ so as to exterminate them, to violate my covenant+ with them; for I am Jehovah their God.

3 Jehovah your God must also bring back your captives*+ and show you mercy+ and collect you again from all the peoples where Jehovah your God has scattered you.+

15 Thus he took Je·hoiʹa·chin+ into exile to Babylon;+ and the king’s mother+ and the king’s wives and his court officials+ and the foremost men of the land he led away as exiled people from Jerusalem to Babylon.

5 “This is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said, ‘Like these good figs, so I shall regard the exiles of Judah, whom I will send away from this place to the land of the Chal·deʹans,+ in a good way.+

11 “For I am with you,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “to save you;+ but I shall make an extermination among all the nations to which I have scattered you.+ However, in your case I shall make no extermination.+ And I shall have to correct you to the proper degree, as I shall by no means leave you unpunished.”+
