Jeremiah 24
- 1The Lord showed me, and two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the Lord, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
- 2One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
- 3Then the Lord said to me, What do you see, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs. The good figs, very good. And the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
- 4Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
- 5The Lord says this, the God of Israel. Like these good figs, so I will acknowledge those who are carried away captive of Judah, who I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.
- 6For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down. And I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
- 7And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God. For they shall return to me with their whole heart.
- 8And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil. Surely the Lord says this, So I will give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the rest of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and those who live in the land of Egypt:
- 9And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a disgrace and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them.
- 10And I will send the sword, the famine, and the plague, among them, till they are consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.
