What Does Jeremiah 29:14 Mean?
This verse brings the promise to its climax. God will not merely hear the exiles—He will be found by them. More than that, He will reverse the exile itself, gathering them from all the nations and lands where they were scattered and returning them to their home.
The promise is both personal (God will be found) and corporate (all the exiles will be gathered). It is also definitive (twice God says "I will") and specific (return to the place from which they were carried). God's word will accomplish its purpose.
