Jeremiah 42:10

10. If ye will still abide One chapter of their probation had closed, another now opens. They had proven disobedient and corrupt under Jewish rule, and the catastrophe had come; they were again to be put to trial under Babylonian rule. Though they had proven rebellious, and so had been given over into the power of their enemies, God had by no means deserted them, or become their enemy. And so this message is full of assurances of his continued interest in their behalf: “I repent me,” “I will build you,” “save you,” “deliver you,” “show mercies unto you.”
