Jeremiah 40:4-6 Now, therefore, lo! I have loosed thee today, from the fetters which were upon thy hand: If it be good in thine eyes to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will set mine eyes upon thee, but, if evil in thine eyes to come with me into Babylon, forbear,––see! all the land, is before thee, whither it may be good and right in thine eyes to go, thither, go!

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Now, therefore, lo! I have loosed thee today, from the fetters which were upon thy hand: If it be good in thine eyes to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will set mine eyes upon thee, but, if evil in thine eyes to come with me into Babylon, forbear,––see! all the land, is before thee, whither it may be good and right in thine eyes to go, thither, go! ⁵ And ere yet, he could make reply––Go thou back then unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath set in charge over the cities of Judah, and dwell thou with him in the midst of the people, or, whithersoever it may be right in thine eyes to go, go! So the chief of the royal executioners gave him an allowance and a present, and let him go. ⁶ Then came, Jeremiah unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and dwelt with him in the midst of the people who were left in the land.
