But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
Instead, they will say, 'As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the descendants of Israel back from the northern lands and from all the countries where I had scattered them'—and they will live in their own land.
God is promising to bring His scattered people back home from exile to live in their own land again.
📚 Historical Context
Jeremiah prophesied during the time when the people of Judah were facing exile to Babylon (the 'north country'). This verse looks forward to a future restoration when God would gather His people from all the nations where they had been scattered and bring them back to the Promised Land. It contrasts with earlier oaths that referenced the exodus from Egypt, pointing to an even greater future deliverance.
