4 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
5 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Like these good figs, so will I1 acknowledge those who are carried away captive from Judah, whom I have sent out of this place for their own good, into the land of the Chaldeans.
6 For I will set My eyes on them for good, and aI will bring them back to this land; bI will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up.
7 Then I will give them aa heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be bMy people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me cwith their whole heart.
8 ‘And as the bad afigs which cannot be eaten, they are so bad’—surely thus says the Lord—‘so will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, his princes, the bresidue of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and cthose who dwell in the land of Egypt.
9 I will deliver them to atrouble into all the kingdoms of the earth, for their harm, bto be a reproach and a byword, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them.

Jeremiah 24:6-7
God says in another place that He is going to make an everlasting covenant with them. That is the same covenant that He has made with you and me—the New Covenant. And He says that He will put the fear of Himself in their hearts so that they will not depart from Him. This has a direct connection to you and me right now.
