And thou hast said unto me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

The verse 25 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 du sprichst zu mir, Herr, HERR: "Kaufe du einen Acker um Geld und nimm Zeugen dazu", so doch die Stadt in der Chaldäer Hände gegeben wird.
¡Oh Señor Jehová! ¿y me has tú dicho: Cómprate la heredad por dinero, y pon testigos; bien que la ciudad sea entregada en manos de los Caldeos?
Sin embargo, Señor Jehová, tú me has dicho: ‘Cómprate el campo por plata y llama a testigos’, aunque la ciudad está siendo entregada en manos de los caldeos”».
Néanmoins, Seigneur Eternel, tu m'as dit: Achète un champ pour de l'argent, prends des témoins... Et la ville est livrée entre les mains des Chaldéens!
E pure, o Signore Iddio, tu mi hai detto: Comperati quel campo per danari, e prendine testimoni; avvegnachè la città sia data in man de’ Caldei
Contudo tu me disseste, ó Senhor DEUS: Compra para ti o campo por dinheiro, e faze que o confirmem testemunhas, embora a cidade já esteja entregue na mão dos caldeus.
主耶和華啊,你卻對我說,要用銀子為自己買那塊地,又請人作證;其實這城已交在 迦勒底 人的手中了。』」
