Jeremiah 40:3-4

Now he has done that. The LORD has done what he promised to do. He sent this trouble because your people did not obey the LORD. They turned against him. But today I am taking the chains off your hands so that you can go free. You can come with me to Babylon, if you choose to do that. If you come, I will take care of you. But if you do not choose to come with me, you do not have to do that. You are a free man. You may go to any part of the land that you choose.’
