10 See, I have commissioned you this day to be over the nations and over the kingdoms,+ in order to uproot and to pull down and to destroy and to tear down,+ to build and to plant.”+

18 This is what Jehovah has said: “Here I am gathering the captive ones of the tents of Jacob,+ and for his tabernacles I shall have pity. And the city will actually be rebuilt upon her mound;+ and upon its rightful site the dwelling tower itself will sit.+

41 And I will exult over them to do them good,+ and I will plant them in this land+ in trueness* with all my heart and with all my soul.’”

7 And I will bring back the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel,+ and I will build them just as at the start.+
