“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.”
The declaration that God set His eyes on the exiles for good, knowing their thoughts and ways, emphasizes God's comprehensive knowledge and favorable disposition. The exiles' character justifies God's protective interest. The vision shows that true judgment involves not merely outward circumstances but understanding of heart and intention. The exiles' humbling in exile will lead to restoration.
