Jeremías 24:6 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 24:6

For I will set mine eyes upon them for good
His eyes of omniscience, providence, and grace; to communicate good things to them; to take care of them in the furnace of affliction, that they were not lost, but made the better; to watch over them, protect and defend them; to deliver them out of their troubles, and to bring them into their own land; as follows: and I will bring them again into this land:
the land of Judea, and city of Jerusalem, where Jeremiah now was, and saw this vision: this was accomplished when the seventy years' captivity was ended: and I will build them, and not pull [them] down; and I will plant
them, and not pluck [them] up;
alluding to the building of houses, and planting of vineyards; signifying that they and their families should be built up and continue; yea, that they should be a habitation for God, and the vineyard of the Lord of hosts, of his planting, and which should remain: this will be more fully accomplished in the latter day; though it had in part a fulfilment upon the Jews' return from captivity.

5 Así dice el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel: "Como a estos higos buenos, así consideraré como buenos a los desterrados de Judá que yo he echado de este lugar a la tierra de los caldeos.

6 "Porque pondré mis ojos sobre ellos para bien, y los traeré de nuevo a esta tierra; los edificaré y no los derribaré, los plantaré y no los arrancaré.

7 "Y les daré un corazón para que me conozcan, porque yo soy el SEÑOR; y ellos serán mi pueblo y yo seré su Dios, pues volverán a mí de todo corazón.

8 "Pero como a los higos malos que de podridos no se pueden comerasí dice el SEÑORde la misma manera abandonaré a Sedequías, rey de Judá, a sus oficiales, al remanente de Jerusalén que queda en esta tierra y a los que habitan en la tierra de Egipto.
