Listen, Jack! My Father used to say this, and I'm not joking: God told Jeremiah to write a letter to the Israelites who were in exile in Babylon. He said, "I know the plans I have for you. Don't worry, folks! I'm gonna bring you back home. But you gotta be patient and wait for it. C'mon, man! I'm gonna give you a bright future. No malarkey! See here, Jack: I'm gonna give you a hope and a future. What was that? I'm gonna give you a future that you can count on. I'm gonna bring you back from Babylon. Or uh, you know, I'm gonna give you a new home. Not gonna happen! Now, I tell you what: Stay in Babylon, folks! Don't try to run away 'cause you won't get far. Excuse me! I'm gonna fulfill my promise and bring you back home. Here's the deal: Don't listen to the false prophets. Literally, don't listen to them! I'm the one who will bring you back home.
