highlighted Jeremiah 29:1-32 NASB
"For thus says the Lord, 'When aseventy years have been completed for Babylon, I will visit you and fulfill My bgood word to you, to bring you back to this place.'For I know the aplans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for bwelfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a chope.'Then you will acall upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will blisten to you.'You will aseek Me and find Me when you bsearch for Me with all your heart.'I will be afound by you,' declares the Lord, 'and I will brestore your fortunes and will cgather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you,' declares the Lord, 'and I will dbring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.'"Because you have said, 'The Lord has raised up aprophets for us in Babylon'--for thus says the Lord concerning the king who sits on the throne of David, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your brothers who did anot go with you into exile--thus says the Lord of hosts, 'Behold, I am sending upon them the asword, famine and pestilence, and I will make them like bsplit-open figs that cannot be eaten due to rottenness.'I will pursue them with the sword, with famine and with pestilence; and I will amake them a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a bcurse and a horror and a chissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them,because they have anot listened to My words,' declares the Lord, 'which I sent to them again and again by bMy servants the prophets; but you did not listen,' declares the Lord.Now these are the words of the aletter which Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the rest of the elders of the exile, the priests, the prophets and all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon."You, therefore, hear the word of the Lord, all you exiles, whom I have asent away from Jerusalem to Babylon."Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who are aprophesying to you falsely in My name, 'Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will slay them before your eyes.'Because of them a acurse will be used by all the exiles from Judah who are in Babylon, saying, "May the Lord make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon broasted in the fire,because they have aacted foolishly in Israel, and bhave committed adultery with their neighbors' wives and have cspoken words in My name falsely, which I did not command them; and I am He who dknows and am a witness," declares the Lord.'"To aShemaiah the Nehelamite you shall speak, saying,"Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Because you have sent aletters in your own name to all the people who are in Jerusalem, and to bZephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying,"The Lord has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, to be the aoverseer in the house of the Lord over every bmadman who cprophesies, to dput him in the stocks and in the iron collar,now then, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of aAnathoth who prophesies to you?"For he has asent to us in Babylon, saying, 'The exile will be blong; cbuild houses and live in them and plant gardens and eat their produce.'"'"aZephaniah the priest read this letter to Jeremiah the prophet.(This was after King aJeconiah and the bqueen mother, the court officials, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen and the smiths had departed from Jerusalem.)Then came the word of the Lord to Jeremiah, saying,"Send to aall the exiles, saying, 'Thus says the Lord concerning bShemaiah the Nehelamite, "Because Shemaiah has cprophesied to you, although I did not send him, and he has dmade you trust in a lie,"therefore thus says the Lord, "Behold, I am about to apunish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants; he will bnot have anyone living among this people, cand he will not see the good that I am about to do to My people," declares the Lord, "because he has dpreached rebellion against the Lord."'"The letter was sent by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of aHilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying,"Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have asent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon,'aBuild houses and live in them; and plant gardens and eat their produce.'Take awives and become the fathers of sons and daughters, and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; and multiply there and do not decrease.'aSeek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and bpray to the Lord on its behalf; for in its welfare you will have welfare.'"For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Do not let your aprophets who are in your midst and your diviners bdeceive you, and do not listen to cthe dreams which they dream.'For they aprophesy falsely to you in My name; bI have not sent them,' declares the Lord.

In this is love, anot that we loved God, but that bHe loved us and sent His Son to be cthe propitiation for our sins.aBeloved, if God so loved us, bwe also ought to love one another.aNo one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His blove is perfected in us.aBy this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.We have seen and atestify that the Father has bsent the Son to be the Savior of the world.aWhoever confesses that bJesus is the Son of God, God cabides in him, and he in God.aWe have come to know and have believed the love which God has bfor us. cGod is love, and the one who dabides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.By this, alove is perfected with us, so that we may have bconfidence in cthe day of judgment; because das He is, so also are we in this world.There is no fear in love; but aperfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not bperfected in love.aWe love, because He first loved us.aIf someone says, "I love God," and bhates his brother, he is a cliar; for dthe one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, ecannot love God whom he has not seen.And athis commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God bshould love his brother also.aBeloved, let us blove one another, for love is from God; and ceveryone who loves is dborn of God and eknows God.The one who does not love does not know God, for aGod is love.By this the love of God was manifested ain us, that bGod has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.

aBeloved, do not be surprised at the bfiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you;but to the degree that you ashare the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the brevelation of His glory cyou may rejoice with exultation.If you are reviled afor the name of Christ, byou are blessed, cbecause the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.Make sure that anone of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a btroublesome meddler;but if anyone suffers as a aChristian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to bglorify God in this name.

The king answered the people harshly, for he forsook the advice of the elders which they had given him,and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, "aMy father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions."So the king did not listen to the people; afor it was a turn of events from the Lord, bthat He might establish His word, which the Lord spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying,

The young men who grew up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you shall say to this people who spoke to you, saying, 'Your father made our yoke heavy, now you make it lighter for us!' But you shall speak to them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's loins!'Whereas my father loaded you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.'"Then Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day as the king had directed, saying, "aReturn to me on the third day."aThen Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to bShechem to make him king.Now awhen Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, he was living in Egypt (for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon).Then they sent and called him, and Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,"aYour father made our yoke hard; now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you."Then he said to them, "aDepart for three days, then return to me." So the people departed.King Rehoboam aconsulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon while he was still alive, saying, "How do you counsel me to answer this people?"Then they spoke to him, saying, "aIf you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them and grant them their petition, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever."But he forsook the counsel of the elders which they had given him, and consulted with the young men who grew up with him and served him.So he said to them, "What counsel do you give that we may answer this people who have spoken to me, saying, 'Lighten the yoke which your father put on us'?"
