Jeremiah 29:14

The LXX have only "And I will be found of you" (lit. "I will appear to you"). The remaining words are evidently a later addition, relating to a generaldispersion, and thus unsuitable to the present context.

turn again your captivity The Hebrew expression here and elsewhere probably means simply to restore the fortunes. See C.B. Psalms 14:7.
