Verse of the Day (October 13, 2020) #BMSeminary – The Lord will not abandon the exiles in Babylon forever. After 70 years (25:11), he will fulfill his “good promise” (v. 10) from Deut 30:3-5 to bring them back to their homeland. God is the ultimate source of blessings and curses. The plans he has for those in exile are for a good future (unlike the plans he has for those in Judah; see vv. 16-19). He is willing to listen to their prayers and allow them to call upon his name (Deut 4:29). [Zondervan Study Bible]
