Jeremiah 24:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴ Then the Lord told me to say:

⁵ People of Judah, the good figs stand for those of you I sent away as exiles to Babylonia, ⁶ where I am watching over them. Then someday I will bring them back to this land. I will plant them, instead of uprooting them, and I will build them up, rather than tearing them down.
