Jeremiah 24:5-6
24:5 “I, the
Lord, the God of Israel, say: ‘The exiles whom I sent away from here to the land of Babylon
are like those good figs. I consider them to be good.
24:6 I will look after their welfare
and will restore them to this land. There I will build them up and will not tear them down. I will plant them firmly in the land
and will not uproot them.
Jeremiah 52:31-34
Jehoiachin in Exile
52:31 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of King Jehoiachin of Judah, on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month, Evil-Merodach, in the first year of his reign, pardoned King Jehoiachin of Judah and released him from prison.
52:32 He spoke kindly to him and gave him a more prestigious position than the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
52:33 Jehoiachin took off his prison clothes and ate daily in the king’s presence for the rest of his life.
52:34 He was given daily provisions by the king of Babylon for the rest of his life until the day he died.
