Jeremiah 24:5-10
New American Standard Bible
5 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘Like these good figs, so I will regard (A)as good the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans. 6 For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will (B)bring them back to this land; and I will (C)build them up and not overthrow them, and I will (D)plant them and not uproot them. 7 I will also give them a (E)heart to know Me, for I am the Lord; and they will be (F)My people, and I will be their God, for they will (G)return to Me wholeheartedly.
8 ‘But like the (H)bad figs which cannot be eaten due to rottenness,’ indeed, this is what the Lord says, ‘so will I give up (I)Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials, and the (J)remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and the ones who live in the land of (K)Egypt. 9 I will (L)make them an object of terror and an evil for all the kingdoms of the earth, as a (M)disgrace and a proverb, a taunt and a (N)curse in all the places where I will scatter them. 10 And I will send the (O)sword, the famine, and the plague upon them until they are eliminated from the land which I gave to them and their forefathers.’”
