Jeremiah 24:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 24:6

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.
