Jeremiah 24:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ Then the word of the Lord came to me: ⁵ Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so I will regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans. ⁶ I will set my eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them back to this land. I will build them up, and not tear them down; I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
