God says, take dictation Jeremiah.
Soon the people will be able to prosper again and anyone who tries to oppress them will be punished, once they're done with being oppressed by the people God allows to do such things.
The people of Israel are the children that God takes delight in, he's fond of them and has pity for them even though he has to punish them occasionally. Which is like a parent of course, but if God made the whole planet and all the people, why are the people of Israel the only ones he sees as his children?
People will die for their own sins under the new covenant that God will make. Comforting, I guess?
Jerusalem will be bigger and better than before and will never be torn down or destroyed again. What's the definition of destroyed, exactly?
