Jeremiah 24:5-7

Living Bible

^4-5 Then the Lord said: “The good figs represent the exiles sent to Babylon. I have done it for their good. ⁶ I will see that they are well treated, and I will bring them back here again. I will help them and not hurt them; I will plant them and not pull them up. ⁷ I will give them hearts that respond to me. They shall be my people and I will be their God, for they shall return to me with great joy.
