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.

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.

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.

Again the word
of the LORD
came unto me, saying,
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.

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 up.

for they shall return
unto me with their whole heart.

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:

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.

that I gave
unto them and to their fathers.
