The verse 22 is found in chapter 32 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah prays after purchasing the field and recalls creation, the exodus, and the history of rebellion. God confirms that he will give Jerusalem over because of its sins, but also promises to gather the people, give them one heart, and establish an everlasting covenant. The purchased property thus becomes a sign of restoration that will come after judgment.

und hast ihnen dies Land gegeben, welches du ihren Vätern geschworen hattest, daß du es ihnen geben wolltest, ein Land, darin Milch und Honig fließt:
Y dísteles esta tierra, de la cual juraste a sus padres que se la darías, tierra que mana leche y miel:
Les diste esta tierra, que habías jurado dar a sus padres, una tierra que fluye leche y miel.
Tu leur as donné ce pays, Que tu avais juré à leurs pères de leur donner, Pays où coulent le lait et le miel.
e desti loro questo paese, il quale tu avevi giurato a’ padri loro di dar loro, paese stillante latte, e miele;
E lhes deste esta terra, que juraste a seus pais que lhes havias de dar, terra que mana leite e mel.
把這地賞賜給他們,就是你向他們列祖起誓應許要賜給他們的流奶與蜜之地。
