Jehovah told the ancient Israelites what he wanted to do for them: “I myself well know the thoughts that I am thinking toward you,... thoughts of peace, and not of calamity, to give you a future and a hope. ”
Savai tautai senatnē Jehova teica: ” Es zinu, kādas Man domas par jums,.. miera un glābšanas domas un ne ļaunuma un ciešanu domas, ka Es jums beigās došu to, ko jūs cerat. ” ( Jeremijas 29: 11.)
