Jeremiah 24:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I sent the people of Judah out of their country to live in the country of Babylon. I ·think of [regard] those people as good, like these good figs. ⁶ I will ·look after them [^Lset my eyes on them for good] and ·bring them back [return them] to this land [^Cof Judah]. I will not tear them down, but I will build them up. I will not pull them up, but I will plant them [^Cso they can grow]. ⁷ I will ·make them want [^Lgive them a heart] to know me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, because they will return to me with their whole hearts.
