3 And the Lord said to me: 'What do you see, Jeremiah?' And I said: 'Figs: the good figs are very good, and the bad figs are very bad and cannot be eaten because they are so bad.'
4 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
5 'Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Just like these good figs, so will I regard as good the captives of Judah, whom I have sent from this place into the land of the Chaldeans.
6 And I will set my eyes upon them, so as to be pleased. And I will lead them back into this land. And I will build them up, and I will not tear them down. And I will plant them, and I will not uproot them.
7 And I will give them a heart, so that they may know me, that I am the Lord. And they will be my people, and I will be their God. For they shall return to me with their whole heart.
