"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord

[Boasting in the Lord]

 

[Cyd]

I love this verse but mine reads this way:
Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

If you look up the Hebrew for the word "peace" it means so much more:

or שָׁלֹם shâlôm; from H7999; safe, i.e. (figuratively) well, happy, friendly; also (abstractly) welfare, i.e. health, prosperity, peace:—× do, familiar, × fare, favour, friend, × great, (good) health, (× perfect, such as be at) peace(-able, -ably), prosper(-ity, -ous), rest, safe(-ty), salute, welfare, (× all is, be) well, × wholly.

Thanks for pointing out the KJV translation to me. It's quite different.

What do you think of the phrase "expected end"?

Here is the word "expected"

literally a cord (as an attachment); figuratively, expectancy:—expectation(-ted), hope, live, thing that I long for.

Here is "end"

the last or end, hence, the future; also posterity:—(last, latter) end (time), hinder (utter) -most, length, posterity, remnant, residue, reward.
