Jeremiah 24:4 In-Context

2 One basket was filled with fresh and ripe figs; the other basket was filled with rotten figs—too rotten to eat.

3 And the LORD asked me: "What do you see, Jeremiah?" I replied: "Figs! Some good ones and others very bad—so bad that they can't be eaten."

4 Then the LORD said to me:

5 The LORD, the God of Israel, proclaims: Just as with these good figs, I will treat kindly the Judean exiles that I have sent from this place to Babylon.

6 I regard them as good, and I will bring them back to this land. I will build them up and not pull them down; I will plant them and not dig them up.
