For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

The verse 11 is found in chapter 29 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah writes to the exiles and instructs them to settle down, build houses, form families, and seek Babylon’s welfare. The exile will last for a determined period, but it does not mean permanent abandonment. The promise of plans for peace and restoration appears within a call to persevere in present reality, not to escape through false expectations.

Denn ich weiß wohl, was ich für Gedanken über euch habe, spricht der HERR: Gedanken des Friedens und nicht des Leidens, daß ich euch gebe das Ende, des ihr wartet.
Porque yo sé los pensamientos que tengo acerca de vosotros, dice Jehová, pensamientos de paz, y no de mal, para daros el fin que esperáis.
Porque yo conozco los planes que tengo para ustedes —declara Jehová—: planes de paz y no de calamidad, para darles un futuro y una esperanza.
Car je connais les projets que j'ai formés sur vous, dit l'Eternel, projets de paix et non de malheur, afin de vous donner un avenir et de l'espérance.
Perciocchè io so i pensieri che io penso intorno a voi, dice il Signore; che son pensieri di pace, e non a male, per darvi uscita e speranza.
Porque eu bem sei os pensamentos que tenho a vosso respeito, diz o SENHOR; pensamentos de paz, e não de mal, para vos dar o fim que esperais.
我知道我向你們所懷的意念是賜平安的意念,不是降災禍的意念,要叫你們末後有指望。這是耶和華說的。
