William Kelly · PART 2: Jeremiah 26 — Jeremiah 52

"For thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. For they prophesy falsely to you in My name: I have not sent them, says Jehovah. For thus says Jehovah," instead of Hananiah's two years, "that after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform My good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon Me, and ye shall go and pray to Me, and I will hearken to you. And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, says Jehovah: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, says Jehovah; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive" (verses 8-14).
