Jeremiah 24:5

Thus says the Lord , the God of Israel : Like these good figs , so I will regard as good the exiles from Judah , whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans .

“This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Like these good figs, I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I sent away from this place to the land of the Babylonians.

Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.
