over nations and kingdoms
to uproot and tear down,
to destroy and demolish,
to build and plant.

and give you a desirable land,
the most beautiful inheritance of all the nations.”
I thought, “You will call me ‘My Father’

in truth, justice, and righteousness,
and then the nations will be blessed[fn] by him
and will boast in him.

on such a nation as this?

from far away against you,

a nation whose language you do not know
and whose speech you do not understand.
“Should I not punish them for these things?
This is the LORD’s declaration.
Should I not avenge myself
on such a nation as this?

and you witnesses,
learn what the charge is against them.

Look, an army is coming from a northern land;

and made his homeland desolate.

We therefore put our hope in you,
for you have done all these things.

my refuge in a time of distress,
the nations will come to you
from the ends of the earth, and they will say,
“Our ancestors inherited only lies,
worthless idols of no benefit at all.”
“At one moment I might announce concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will uproot, tear down, and destroy it.

“But as for the nation that will put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave it in its own land, and that nation will cultivate[fn] it and reside in it. This is the LORD’s declaration.” ’ ”
In the presence of all the people Hananiah proclaimed, “This is what the LORD says: ‘In this way, within two years I will break the yoke of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon from the neck of all the nations.’ ” The prophet Jeremiah then went on his way.
“For this is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: I have put an iron yoke on the neck of all these nations that they might serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even put the wild animals under him.’ ”

Sing with joy for Jacob;
shout for the foremost of the nations!

“LORD, save your people,
the remnant of Israel! ”

and tell it among the far off coasts and islands!

and your cries fill the earth,
because warrior stumbles against warrior
and together both of them have fallen.
And you, my servant Jacob, do not be afraid —
this is the LORD’s declaration —
for I will be with you.
I will bring destruction on all the nations
where I have banished you,
but I will not bring destruction on you.
I will discipline you with justice,
and I will by no means leave you unpunished.

they plan harm against her in Heshbon:
Come, let’s cut her off from nationhood.

a messenger has been sent among the nations:
Assemble yourselves to come against her.
Rise up for war!
