Jeremiah 24:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ “This is what the Lord God of Israel says: ‘Like these good figs, so I’ll regard as good the exiles of Judah whom I sent from this place to the land of the Chaldeans. ⁶ I’ll look at them with good intentions, and I’ll bring them back to this land. I’ll build them up. I won’t tear them down; I’ll plant them and not rip them up. ⁷ I’ll give them the ability^[a] to know me, for I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God when they return to me with all their heart.
