A Word for Our Times?

Looking at Gospelcom's Verse of the Day today, I couldn't help thinking that some translators should consider who they are translating for, and how words will be understood. This one's from the ESV:

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare
Jeremiah 29:11

Oh no, I'm going to lose my job.

Alright, I know the verse continues "and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." (And yes, they did have the whole verse on Gospelcom).
