| 21:1 The word came to Jeremiah from the LORD when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur son of Malkijah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah. They said:
2 \"Inquire now of the LORD for us because Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is attacking us. Perhaps the LORD will perform wonders for us as in times past so that he will withdraw from us.\"
23:7 \"So then, the days are coming,\" declares the LORD , \"when people will no longer say, \'As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,\'
8 but they will say, \'As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.\' Then they will live in their own land.\"
