Fate of Those Taken from Jerusalem to Babylon: Jeremiah 24:3. Then the LORD* said to me, What do you see, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs. The good figs, very good. And the bad, very bad, that cannot be eaten they are so bad. 4. Again the word of the LORD* came to me saying, 5. Thus says the LORD*, the God of Israel, Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge those of Judah who are carried away captive, whom I have sent out of this place to the land of the Chaldeans for good. 6. For I shall set My eyes upon them for good and I shall bring them back to this land and I shall build them and not pull them down. And I shall plant them and not pluck them up. 7. And I shall give them a heart to know Me, that I AM the LORD* and they will be My people and I AM will be their God, for they will return to Me with their whole heart.
