And I answered, "Figs. The good figs are very good, but the bad ones are so bad they cannot be eaten." 4 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 5 This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: "As with these good figs, so I will regard with favor the exiles of Judah, whom I sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans, for their good. 6 I will watch over them with care and bring them back to this land.
