If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.

The verse 10 is found in chapter 42 of Jeremiah. The survivors ask Jeremiah to consult Yahweh and promise to obey whatever answer is given. After ten days, God commands them to remain in the land and not fear Babylon, but warns that Egypt will not be a safe refuge. The tragedy is that the people ask for a word while already considering disobedience to it.

Werdet ihr in diesem Lande bleiben, so will ich euch bauen und nicht zerbrechen; ich will euch pflanzen und nicht ausreuten; denn es hat mich schon gereut das Übel, das ich euch getan habe.
Si os quedareis quietos en esta tierra, os edificaré, y no os destruiré; os plantaré, y no os arrancaré: porque arrepentido estoy del mal que os he hecho.
“Si de veras se quedan en esta tierra, los edificaré y no los derribaré; los plantaré y no los arrancaré, porque lamento la calamidad que les he causado.
Si vous restez dans ce pays, je vous y établirai et je ne vous détruirai pas, je vous planterai et je ne vous arracherai pas; car je me repens du mal que je vous ai fait.
Se pur voi dimorate in questo paese, io vi edificherò, e non vi distruggerò; io vi pianterò, e non vi divellerò; perciocchè io mi pento del male che vi ho fatto.
Se de boa mente ficardes nesta terra, então vos edificarei, e não vos derrubarei; e vos plantarei, e não vos arrancarei; porque estou arrependido do mal que vos tenho feito.
『你們若仍留在這地,我就建立你們,必不拆毀;栽植你們,必不拔出;因我為所降與你們的災禍感到遺憾。
