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.

Jeremías 24:6 In-Context

4 Y vino a mí palabra del SEÑOR, diciendo

5 Así dijo el SEÑOR Dios de Israel: Como a estos buenos higos, así conoceré la transportación de Judá al cual eché de este lugar a la tierra de los caldeos, para bien

6 Porque pondré mis ojos sobre ellos para bien, y los volveré a esta tierra; y los edificaré, y no los destruiré; los plantaré, y no los arrancaré

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

8 Y como los malos higos, que de malos no se pueden comer, con certeza dice el SEÑOR, así daré a Sedequías rey de Judá, y a sus príncipes, y al resto de Jerusalén que quedaron en esta tierra, y que moran en la tierra de Egipto
