³Den our Papa ask me, “Wetin you dey see, Jeremiah?” “Na fig,” I talk, “di good one good well well, di bad one bad reach say person no fit chop am.”

⁴Den di word of our Papa come meet me:

⁵“Na dis one our Papa of Israel talk: Just like dis good fig, na so I go take di people of Judah wey I send comot from here go land of di Babylon people count am as good.

⁶“I go fix my eye on dem for good, I go bring dem come back to dis land; I go build dem, I no go tear dem down, I go plant dem, I no go pull dem comot. ⁷I go give dem heart wey go make dem know me as Papa; dem go be my pikin dem, and I go be dia Papa, because dem go turn come back to me with dia whole heart.’
