Below are five verses related to the topics covered in Jeremiah 24:

2 Kings 24:10-11: "At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Jerusalem, and the city was surrounded.

When the seventy years are turned, I will punish the king of Babylon and this nation, says the Lord, His sins, and will punish the land of the Chaldeans too; I will make it an eternal desolation.

GRANGE CHILDREN AND FAULTS, Take wives to your children, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may have children and daughters; multiply there and not decreased. Seek the peace of the city to which I threw you and pray for her to the Lord, for in your peace you will also have peace.

" These verses talk about the restoration of God's people, which will be gathered from all parts of the world and brought back to their land. This relates to Jeremiah 24, where God separates the people into two groups: the good figs that will be restored and the bad figs that will be destroyed.
