Context of Jeremiah 29:14

12At that time, when you call out to me for help, I will hear your prayers. 13You will want to find me, and I will be ready to meet with you. If you really want to find me, I will be there for you.’ That is what the Lord says. ‘I will bring you back from the nations and all the places where I sent you as prisoners. You will no longer have to live in those foreign places.’ 15You may say, ‘The Lord has chosen prophets to bring his message to us here in Babylon.’ 16But listen to what the Lord says about the people who are still here in Jerusalem. The enemy did not take them with you as prisoners to Babylon. That includes the king who now rules David's kingdom.
