1
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
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah,
and
the
princes
of
Judah,
with
the
carpenters
and
smiths,
from
Jerusalem,
and
had
brought
them
to
Babylon.
2
One
basket
[had]
very
good
figs,
[even]
like
the
figs
[that
are]
first
ripe:
and
the
other
basket
[had]
very
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]
good.
6
For
I
will
set
mine
eyes
upon
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]
7
And
I
will
give
them
an
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
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
reproach
and
a
proverb,
a
taunt
and
a
curse,
in
all
places
whither
I
shall
drive
them.
10
And
I
will
send
the
sword,
the
famine,
and
the
pestilence,
among
them,
till
they
be
consumed
from
off
the
land
that
I
gave
unto
them
and
to
their
fathers.
