Jeremiah 24 : 1 (MKJV)
Jehovah caused me to see, and behold, two baskets of figs set before the temple of Jehovah (after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had exiled Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the rulers of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon);
Jeremiah 24 : 2 (MKJV)
one basket had very good figs, like the first ripe figs. And the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
Jeremiah 24 : 3 (MKJV)
Then Jehovah said to me, What do you see, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs are very good, and the bad are very bad, so that they cannot be eaten, they are so bad.
Jeremiah 24 : 4 (MKJV)
Again the Word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Jeremiah 24 : 5 (MKJV)
So says Jehovah, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so I will acknowledge the exiles of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.
Jeremiah 24 : 6 (MKJV)
For 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.
Jeremiah 24 : 7 (MKJV)
And I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am Jehovah; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God. For they shall return to Me with their whole heart.
Jeremiah 24 : 8 (MKJV)
And like the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad; surely so says Jehovah, So I will give to Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his rulers, and the rest of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt;
Jeremiah 24 : 9 (MKJV)
and I will even make them a horror for evil to all the kingdoms of the earth, for a reproach and a proverb, a gibe and a curse, there in all places where I shall drive them.
Jeremiah 24 : 10 (MKJV)
And I will send the sword, the famine, and the plague among them until they are destroyed from the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.
