For I know the plans I have for you”— this is the LORD’s declaration—“ plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.You will call to me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart.I will be found by you”— this is the LORD’s declaration—“ and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and places where I banished you”— this is the LORD’s declaration.“ I will restore you to the place from which I deported you.”

Psalms 37:3-11
Trust in the LORD and do what is good; dwell in the land and live securely.Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires.Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act,making your righteousness shine like the dawn, your justice like the noonday.Be silent before the LORD and wait expectantly for him; do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way, by the person who carries out evil plans.Refrain from anger and give up your rage; do not be agitated— it can only bring harm.For evildoers will be destroyed, but those who put their hope in the LORD will inherit the land.A little while, and the wicked person will be no more; though you look for him, he will not be there.But the humble will inherit the land and will enjoy abundant prosperity.

Jeremiah 40:2-6
The captain of the guards took Jeremiah and said to him,“ The LORD your God decreed this disaster on this place,and the LORD has fulfilled it. He has done just what he decreed. Because you people have sinned against the LORD and have not obeyed him, this thing has happened.Now pay attention: Today I am setting you free from the chains that were on your hands. If it pleases you to come with me to Babylon, come, and I will take care of you. But if it seems wrong to you to come with me to Babylon, go no farther. Look— the whole land is in front of you. Wherever it seems good and right for you to go, go there.”When Jeremiah had not yet turned to go, Nebuzaradan said to him,“ Return to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed over the cities of Judah, and stay with him among the people or go wherever it seems right for you to go.” So the captain of the guards gave him a ration and a gift and released him.Jeremiah therefore went to Gedaliah son of Ahikam at Mizpah, and he stayed with him among the people who remained in the land.
