Jeremiah29:14
14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD, and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places, whither I have driven you, saith the LORD, and I will bring you again into the place, whence I caused you to be carried away captive .
This verse containeth no more than was said before, onely it is repeated in a little different phrase, for the further confirmation of their Faith, and the promise is a little inlarged. God saith he will be found of them; that is, he will answer them. It is expressed in this notion to correspond with the term seeking, by which prayer is expressed, and to let us know, that those that will have Gods favour must find it; which implyeth a seeking, and inquiry after it. The promise which before mentioned onely their return from Babylon, is inlarged, and made here to extend to all places whither they were driven, for though the body of the people were carried to Babylon, yet it is more than probable, that many of them shifted for themselves into other Countries, and were in Exile, but not in Captivity. Cyrus his Proclamation, 2 Chron. 36.22, 23. extended to his whole Empire.
