“And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Lord.”
The declaration that God 'will watch over them to build and to plant' reverses the commission given in 1:10 (to pluck up, break down, destroy, overthrow). This reversal suggests that the destructive phase is complete; now comes the constructive phase.
