Jeremiah 2911

Jeremiah 29:11 is a verse from the Book of Jeremiah in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and the Christian Old Testament. The verse reads: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." In Hebrew, this verse is written as: "כִּי לֹא טוֹבִים מַחְשְׁבֹתַי אֶתְכֶם נְאֻם־יְהוָה מַחְשְׁבֹת שָׁלוֹם וְלֹא לְרָעָה לָתֶת לָכֶם אַחֲרִית וְתִקְוָה." The verse is part of a letter sent by the prophet Jeremiah to the Jews who were exiled in Babylon, encouraging them to build lives there and trust in God's promises. This passage is often cited for its message of hope and divine providence. In Spanish, the verse is translated as: "Porque yo sé los planes que tengo para ustedes, planes de bienestar y no de mal, para darles un futuro y una esperanza." In German, it is: "Denn ich weiß die Gedanken, die ich von euch denke, spricht der Herr, Gedanken des Friedens und nicht des Leides, um euch eine Zukunft und eine Hoffnung zu geben." The context of Jeremiah 29:11 emphasizes God's faithfulness and His intention to restore His people, despite their current circumstances of exile and suffering.
