And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand. If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go.

The verse 4 is found in chapter 40 of Jeremiah. Nebuzaradan releases Jeremiah and allows him to choose his destination. The prophet remains with the poor who were left in Judah and later goes to Mizpah. The account presents a surprising reversal: the leaders of Jerusalem are deported, while those who had been overlooked receive an opportunity to rebuild.

Und nun siehe, ich habe dich heute losgemacht von den Ketten, womit deine Hände gebunden waren. Gefällt dir's, mit mir gen Babel zu ziehen, so komm du sollst mir befohlen sein; gefällt dir's aber nicht, mit mir gen Babel zu ziehen, so laß es anstehen. Siehe, da hast du das ganze Land vor dir; wo dich's gut dünkt und dir gefällt, da zieh hin.
Y ahora yo te he soltado hoy de las esposas que tenías en tus manos. Si te está bien venir conmigo a Babilonia, ven, y yo miraré por ti; mas si no te está bien venir conmigo a Babilonia, déjalo: mira, toda la tierra está delante de ti; ve a donde mejor y más cómodo te pareciere ir.
Ahora te libero hoy de las cadenas que tienes en las manos. Si te parece bien venir conmigo a Babilonia, ven, y yo cuidaré de ti. Pero si no te parece bien venir conmigo a Babilonia, no vengas. Mira, toda la tierra está delante de ti; ve adonde te parezca bueno y conveniente ir».
Maintenant voici, je te délivre aujourd'hui des chaînes que tu as aux mains; si tu veux venir avec moi à Babylone, viens, j'aurai soin de toi; si cela te déplaît de venir avec moi à Babylone, ne viens pas; regarde, tout le pays est devant toi, va où il te semblera bon et convenable d'aller.
Or al presente, ecco, io ti sciolgo oggi dalle catene, che tu hai in sulle mani; se ti piace di venir meco in Babilonia, vieni, ed io avrò cura di te; ma, se non ti aggrada di venir meco in Babilonia, rimantene; ecco, tutto il paese è al tuo comando; va’ dove ti parrà e piacerà.
Agora, pois, eis que te soltei hoje das cadeias que estavam sobre as tuas mãos. Se te apraz vir comigo para Babilônia, vem, e eu cuidarei de ti, mas se não te apraz vir comigo para Babilônia, deixa de vir. Olha, toda a terra está diante de ti; para onde parecer bom e reto aos teus olhos ir, para ali vai.
看哪,現在我解開你手上的鏈子,你若看與我同往 巴比倫 去好,就可以去,我必厚待你;你若看與我同往 巴比倫 去不好,就不必去。看哪,全地在你面前,你以為哪裏美好,哪裏合宜,只管去吧
