1 # The LORD <03068> shewed <07200> (8689) me, and, behold, two <08147> baskets <01736> of figs <08384> were set <03259> (8716) before <06440> the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>, after <0310> that Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> had carried away captive <01540> (8687) Jeconiah <03204> the son <01121> of Jehoiakim <03079> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, and the princes <08269> of Judah <03063>, with the carpenters <02796> and smiths <04525>, from Jerusalem <03389>, and had brought <0935> (8686) them to Babylon <0894>.
2 One <0259> basket <01731> had very <03966> good <02896> figs <08384>, even like the figs <08384> that are first ripe <01073>: and the other <0259> basket <01731> had very <03966> naughty <07451> figs <08384>, which could not be eaten <0398> (8735), they were so bad <07455>.
3 Then said <0559> (8799) the LORD <03068> unto me, What seest <07200> (8802) thou, Jeremiah <03414> ? And I said <0559> (8799), Figs <08384>; the good <02896> figs <08384>, very <03966> good <02896>; and the evil <07451>, very <03966> evil <07451>, that cannot be eaten <0398> (8735), they are so evil <07455>.
4 Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800),
5 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>; Like these good <02896> figs <08384>, so will I acknowledge <05234> (8686) them that are carried away captive <01546> of Judah <03063>, whom I have sent <07971> (8765) out of this place <04725> into the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <03778> for their good <02896>.
6 For I will set <07760> (8804) mine eyes <05869> upon them for good <02896>, and I will bring them again <07725> (8689) to this land <0776>: and I will build <01129> (8804) them, and not pull them down <02040> (8799); and I will plant <05193> (8804) them, and not pluck them up <05428> (8799).
- PROMISES
7 And I will give <05414> (8804) them an heart <03820> to know <03045> (8800) me, that I am the LORD <03068>: and they shall be my people <05971>, and I will be their God <0430>: for they shall return <07725> (8799) unto me with their whole heart <03820>.
8 And as the evil <07451> figs <08384>, which cannot be eaten <0398> (8735), they are so evil <07455>; surely thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, So will I give <05414> (8799) Zedekiah <06667> the king <04428> of Judah <03063>, and his princes <08269>, and the residue <07611> of Jerusalem <03389>, that remain <07604> (8737) in this land <0776>, and them that dwell <03427> (8802) in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>:
9 And I will deliver <05414> (8804) them to be removed <02189> (8675) <02113> into all the kingdoms <04467> of the earth <0776> for their hurt <07451>, to be a reproach <02781> and a proverb <04912>, a taunt <08148> and a curse <07045>, in all places <04725> whither I shall drive <05080> (8686) them.
10 And I will send <07971> (8765) the sword <02719>, the famine <07458>, and the pestilence <01698>, among them, till they be consumed <08552> (8800) from off the land <0127> that I gave <05414> (8804) unto them and to their fathers <01> .
