And I will be found by you, saith the Lord: and I will bring back your captivity, and I will gather you out of all nations, and from all the places to which I have driven you out, saith the Lord: and I will bring you back from the place to which I caused you to be carried away captive.
Jeremiah 29:12 And you shall call upon me, and you shall go. and you shall pray to me, and I will hear you.
Jeremiah 29:13 You shall seek me, and shall find me: when you shall seek me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:14 And I will be found by you, saith the Lord: and I will bring back your captivity, and I will gather you out of all nations, and from all the places to which I have driven you out, saith the Lord: and I will bring you back from the place to which I caused you to be carried away captive.
Jeremiah 29:15 Because you have said: The Lord hath raised us up prophets in Babylon:
Jeremiah 29:16 For thus saith the Lord to the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and to all the people that dwell in this city, to your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity.
The verse centers on "found", "saith", "lord", "bring", "back", "captivity", "gather", and "nations". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "found" and "saith", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 13's "You shall seek me and shall find..." into verse 15's "Because you have said The Lord hath...", so "found" and "saith" belong inside that flow. In Jeremiah context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "found" and "saith" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
