The Key Word — יָשַׁב, te.she.Vugenerated
The verb יָשַׁב (yashab) means to sit, dwell, or remain. It indicates a state of being settled or established in a place, suggesting stability and permanence. The parsing as imperfect second person masculine plural shows that the command is directed towards the people, indicating their active choice to remain in the land.

How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb וּבָנִ֤יתִי (u'va.ni.ti), meaning 'and I will build', governs the structure of the verse. It is supported by multiple clauses that describe what God will do if the condition is met.
The sentence structure emphasizes the conditional nature of God's promise, with the initial clause setting the stage for the subsequent assurances of building and planting.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates יָשַׁב with καθίσητε — you will sit — which carries a similar meaning of remaining or dwelling. This choice reflects the translators' understanding of the Hebrew context, emphasizing stability.
This connection shows that the idea of remaining in the land is consistent across both the Hebrew and Greek texts, highlighting God's promise of restoration.

The happiness and prosperity of people is in Scripture often set out under the notion of building and planting, as on the contrary their misery or destruction is expressed under the metaphorical notions of pulling down and plucking up. For I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you; for I am satisfied with the punishment your nation hath undergone; and as to the remainder, if they do not destroy themselves by…

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) Then will I build you, and not pull you down . . .—We note the characteristic recurrence of the formulæ with which Jeremiah’s work as a prophet had begun (Jeremiah 1:10). The word for “repent” does not imply regret for the past, as men repent of their sin, but, as in Jeremiah 18:8; Jeremiah 26:3, a change of purpose from what had been the mind of judgment to one of mercy. The prophet’s counsel is, as it had been all along, that the people should accept the punishment which God had inflicted on them, that they should stay where they were and as they were, and not in terror or suspicion seek safety in plans of their own devising.
