And I have been found of you--an affirmation of Jehovah; and I have turned back <FI>to<Fi> your captivity, and have gathered you out of all the nations, and out of all the places whither I have driven you--an affirmation of Jehovah--and I have brought you back unto the place whence I removed you.
Jeremiah 29:12 `And ye have called Me, and have gone, and have prayed unto Me, and I have hearkened unto you,
Jeremiah 29:13 And ye have sought Me, and have found, for ye seek Me with all your heart;
Jeremiah 29:14 And I have been found of you--an affirmation of Jehovah; and I have turned back <FI>to<Fi> your captivity, and have gathered you out of all the nations, and out of all the places whither I have driven you--an affirmation of Jehovah--and I have brought you back unto the place whence I removed you.
Jeremiah 29:15 `Because ye have said, Jehovah hath raised up to us prophets in Babylon,
Jeremiah 29:16 Surely thus said Jehovah concerning the king who is sitting on the throne of David, and concerning all the people that is dwelling in this city, your brethren who went not forth with you in the removal;
The verse centers on "been", "found", "you--an", "affirmation", "jehovah", "turned", "back", and "captivity". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "been" and "found", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 13's "And ye have sought Me and have..." into verse 15's "Because ye have said Jehovah hath raised...", so "been" and "found" 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 "been" and "found" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
