It’s tempting to pull out an encouraging verse of Scripture and put it on a T-shirt, but when we do that we miss the context, and actually, we miss the greater hope. If you go back just one verse in Jeremiah 29, to verse 10, you read, “This is what the LORD says: ‘You will be in Babylon for seventy years. But then I will come and do for you all the good things I have promised, and I will bring you home again.’”
