Jeremiah 24:4 In-Context

2 One of the baskets had very good figs in it, like figs that ripen early in the season. But the other basket had figs too rotten to eat.

3 The Lord said to me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" I answered, "I see figs. The good figs are very good, but the rotten figs are too rotten to eat."

4 Then the Lord spoke his word to me:

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 those people as good, like these good figs.

6 I will look after them and bring them back to the land of Judah. I will not tear them down, but I will build them up. I will not pull them up, but I will plant them so they can grow.
