Jeremiah 24:5

_ _ acknowledgeregard with favor, like as thou lookest on the good figs favorably.

_ _ for their good — Their removal to Babylon saved them from the calamities which befell the rest of the nation and led them to repentance there: so God bettered their condition (2 Kings 25:27-30). Daniel and Ezekiel were among these captives.
