Now, behold, I release you today from the chains which are on your hand. If it seems good to you to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will take care of you; but if it seems bad to you to come with me into Babylon, don’t. Behold, all the land is before you. Where it seems good and right to you to go, go there.”

ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૪૦:૪
પણ હવે જો હું તારા હાથે પહેરેલી સાંકળો છોડી નાખીશ અને તને મુકત કરીશ. તારે જો મારી સાથે બાબિલ આવવું હોય તો આવ, હું તારી સંભાળ રાખીશ. પરંતુ જો તારે મારી સાથે બાબિલ ન આવવું હોય તો તેનો વાંધો નથી, જો, તારી સમક્ષ પસંદગી કરવા માટે આખો દેશ પડેલો છે. જ્યાં જવું તને સારું તથા યોગ્ય લાગે ત્યાં તું જઈ શકે છે.”
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह ४०:४
अब मैं तेरी इन हथकड़ियों को काट देता हूँ, और यदि मेरे संग बाबेल में जाना तुझे अच्छा लगे तो चल, वहाँ मैं तुझ पर कृपादृष्टि रखूँगा; और यदि मेरे संग बाबेल जाना तुझे न भाए, तो यहीं रह जा। देख, सारा देश तेरे सामने पड़ा है, जिधर जाना तुझे अच्छा और ठीक लगे उधर ही चला जा।”

In context

2The captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him, “The LORD your God pronounced this evil on this place;

3and the LORD has brought it, and done according as he spoke. Because you have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing has come on you.

4Now, behold, I release you today from the chains which are on your hand. If it seems good to you to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will take care of you; but if it seems bad to you to come with me into Babylon, don’t. Behold, all the land is before you. Where it seems good and right to you to go, go there.”

5Now while he had not yet gone back, “Go back then,” he said, “to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go.” So the captain of the guard gave him food and a present, and let him go.

6Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and lived with him among the people who were left in the land.
