⁷ The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to ^(A)pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, ^8 (B)if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, ^(C)I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it. ⁹ And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, ¹⁰ if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it.

⁶ For I will set My eyes on them for good, and ^(A)I will bring them back to this land; ^(B)I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up.

²⁸ And it shall come to pass, that as I have ^(A)watched over them ^(B)to pluck up, to break down, to throw down, to destroy, and to afflict, so I will watch over them ^(C)to build and to plant, says the Lord.
