Jeremiah 24
The
Lord
shewed
me,
and,
behold,
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
a
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah,
and
the
b
princes
of
Judah,
with
the
carpenters
and
smiths,
from
Jerusalem,
and
had
brought
them
to
c
Babylon.
2 One
basket
had
very
good
figs,
even
like
the
a
figs
that
are
first
ripe:
and
the
other
basket
had
very
b
naughty
figs,
which
could
not
be
eaten,
they
were
so
bad.
3 Then
said
the
Lord
unto
me,
What
seest
thou,
Jeremiah?
And
I
said,
Figs;
the
good
figs,
very
good;
and
the
evil,
very
evil,
that
cannot
be
eaten,
they
are
so
evil.
4 Again
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
unto
me,
saying,
5 Thus
saith
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel;
Like
these
good
figs,
so
will
I
acknowledge
them
that
are
carried
away
captive
of
Judah,
whom
I
have
sent
out
of
this
place
into
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans
for
their
a
good.
6 For
I
will
set
mine
eyes
upon
them
for
good,
and
I
will
a
bring
them
again
to
this
b
land:
and
I
will
build
them,
and
not
pull
them
down;
and
I
will
c
plant
them,
and
not
pluck
them
up.
7 And
I
will
give
them
an
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
unto
me
with
their
whole
heart.
8 And
as
the
evil
figs,
which
cannot
be
eaten,
they
are
so
evil;
surely
thus
saith
the
Lord,
So
will
I
give
Zedekiah
the
king
of
Judah,
and
his
princes,
and
the
a
residue
of
Jerusalem,
that
remain
in
this
land,
and
them
that
dwell
in
the
land
of
Egypt:
9 And
I
will
deliver
them
to
be
removed
into
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
for
their
hurt,
to
be
a
a
reproach
and
a
proverb,
a
taunt
and
a
b
curse,
in
all
places
whither
I
shall
drive
them.
10 And
I
will
send
the
sword,
the
a
famine,
and
the
pestilence,
among
them,
till
they
be
b
consumed
from
off
the
land
that
I
gave
unto
them
and
to
their
fathers.
