The LORD <H3068> shewed <H7200> me, and, behold, two <H8147> baskets <H1736> of figs <H8384> [were] set <H3259> before <H6440> the temple <H1964> of the LORD, <H3068> after <H0310> that Nebuchadrezzar <H5019> king <H4428> of Babylon <H0894> had carried away captive <H1540> Jeconiah <H3204> the son <H1121> of Jehoiakim <H3079> king <H4428> of Judah, <H3063> and the princes <H8269> of Judah, <H3063> with the carpenters <H2796> and smiths, <H4525> from Jerusalem, <H3389> and had brought <H0935> them to Babylon. <H0894>
2
One <H0259> basket <H1731> [had] very <H3966> good <H2896> figs, <H8384> [even] like the figs <H8384> [that are] first ripe: <H1073> and the other <H0259> basket <H1731> [had] very <H3966> naughty <H7451> figs, <H8384> which could not be eaten, <H0398> they were so bad. <H7455>
3
Then said <H0559> the LORD <H3068> unto me, What seest <H7200> thou, Jeremiah? <H3414> And I said, <H0559> Figs; <H8384> the good <H2896> figs, <H8384> very <H3966> good; <H2896> and the evil, <H7451> very <H3966> evil, <H7451> that cannot be eaten, <H0398> they are so evil. <H7455>
4
Again the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> came unto me, saying, <H0559>
5
Thus saith <H0559> the LORD, <H3068> the God <H0430> of Israel; <H3478> Like these good <H2896> figs, <H8384> so will I acknowledge <H5234> them that are carried away captive <H1546> of Judah, <H3063> whom I have sent <H7971> out of this place <H4725> into the land <H0776> of the Chaldeans <H3778> for [their] good. <H2896>
6
For I will set <H7760> mine eyes <H5869> upon them for good, <H2896> and I will bring them again <H7725> to this land: <H0776> and I will build <H1129> them, and not pull [them] down; <H2040> and I will plant <H5193> them, and not pluck [them] up. <H5428>
7
And I will give <H5414> them an heart <H3820> to know <H3045> me, that I [am] the LORD: <H3068> and they shall be my people, <H5971> and I will be their God: <H0430> for they shall return <H7725> unto me with their whole heart. <H3820>
8
And as the evil <H7451> figs, <H8384> which cannot be eaten, <H0398> they are so evil; <H7455> surely thus saith <H0559> the LORD, <H3068> So will I give <H5414> Zedekiah <H6667> the king <H4428> of Judah, <H3063> and his princes, <H8269> and the residue <H7611> of Jerusalem, <H3389> that remain <H7604> in this land, <H0776> and them that dwell <H3427> in the land <H0776> of Egypt: <H4714>
9
And I will deliver <H5414> them to be removed <H2189> <H2113> into all the kingdoms <H4467> of the earth <H0776> for [their] hurt, <H7451> [to be] a reproach <H2781> and a proverb, <H4912> a taunt <H8148> and a curse, <H7045> in all places <H4725> whither I shall drive <H5080> them.
10
And I will send <H7971> the sword, <H2719> the famine, <H7458> and the pestilence, <H1698> among them, till they be consumed <H8552> from off the land <H0127> that I gave <H5414> unto them and to their fathers. <H0001>
