Jeremiah 24:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ “I, the Lord, the God of Israel, consider that the people who were taken away to Babylonia are like these good figs, and I will treat them with kindness. ⁶ I will watch over them and bring them back to this land. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not pull them up. ⁷ I will give them the desire to know that I am the Lord. Then they will be my people, and I will be their God, because they will return to me with all their heart.
