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.
So says the Lord, God of Israel: Just like these good figs, I will accept those taken captive from Judah. I sent them to the land of the Chaldeans for their own good.
