Jeremiah 29:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 for they prophesy lies to you in my name; I did not send them—oracle of the Lord.(A)
10 For thus says the Lord: Only after seventy years have elapsed for Babylon will I deal with you and fulfill for you my promise to bring you back to this place.(B) 11 For I know well the plans I have in mind for you—oracle of the Lord—plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope.
