New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Jeremiah 31
³⁸ "Behold, days are coming," declares the Lord, "when the city will be rebuilt for the Lord from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
³⁹ The measuring line will go out farther straight ahead to the hill Gareb; then it will turn to Goah.
⁴⁰ And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to the Lord; it will not be plucked up or overthrown anymore forever."
Jeremiah 32
¹ The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
² Now at that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the house of the king of Judah,
³ because Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, "Why do you prophesy, saying, ’Thus says the Lord, "Behold, I am about to give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will take it;
⁴ and Zedekiah king of Judah will not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but he will surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye;
⁵ and he will take Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will be there until I visit him," declares the Lord. "If you fight against the Chaldeans, you will not succeed"’?"
⁶ And Jeremiah said, "The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
⁷ ’Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle is coming to you, saying, "Buy for yourself my field which is at Anathoth, for you have the right of redemption to buy it."’
⁸ Then Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of the Lord and said to me, ’Buy my field, please, that is at Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for you have the right of possession and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.
