1 H3068 The LORD H7200 shewed [H8689] H8147 me, and, behold, two H1736 baskets H8384 of figs H3259 were set [H8716] H6440 before H1964 the temple H3068 of the LORD H310 , after H5019 that Nebuchadrezzar H4428 king H894 of Babylon H1540 had carried away captive [H8687] H3204 Jeconiah H1121 the son H3079 of Jehoiakim H4428 king H3063 of Judah H8269 , and the princes H3063 of Judah H2796 , with the carpenters H4525 and smiths H3389 , from Jerusalem H935 , and had brought [H8686] H894 them to Babylon.

2 H259 One H1731 basket H3966 had very H2896 good H8384 figs H8384 , even like the figs H1073 that are first ripe H259 : and the other H1731 basket H3966 had very H7451 naughty H8384 figs H398 , which could not be eaten [H8735] H7455 , they were so bad.

3 H559 Then said [H8799] H3068 the LORD H7200 unto me, What seest [H8802] H3414 thou, Jeremiah H559 ? And I said [H8799] H8384 , Figs H2896 ; the good H8384 figs H3966 , very H2896 good H7451 ; and the evil H3966 , very H7451 evil H398 , that cannot be eaten [H8735] H7455 , they are so evil.

4 H1697 Again the word H3068 of the LORD H559 came unto me, saying [H8800] ,

5 H559 Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H430 , the God H3478 of Israel H2896 ; Like these good H8384 figs H5234 , so will I acknowledge [H8686] H1546 them that are carried away captive H3063 of Judah H7971 , whom I have sent [H8765] H4725 out of this place H776 into the land H3778 of the Chaldeans H2896 for their good.

6 H7760 For I will set [H8804] H5869 mine eyes H2896 upon them for good H7725 , and I will bring them again [H8689] H776 to this land H1129 : and I will build [H8804] H2040 them, and not pull them down [H8799] H5193 ; and I will plant [H8804] H5428 them, and not pluck them up [H8799] .

7 H5414 And I will give [H8804] H3820 them an heart H3045 to know [H8800] H3068 me, that I am the LORD H5971 : and they shall be my people H430 , and I will be their God H7725 : for they shall return [H8799] H3820 unto me with their whole heart.

8 H7451 And as the evil H8384 figs H398 , which cannot be eaten [H8735] H7455 , they are so evil H559 ; surely thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H5414 , So will I give [H8799] H6667 Zedekiah H4428 the king H3063 of Judah H8269 , and his princes H7611 , and the residue H3389 of Jerusalem H7604 , that remain [H8737] H776 in this land H3427 , and them that dwell [H8802] H776 in the land H4714 of Egypt:

9 H5414 And I will deliver [H8804] H2189 them to be removed [H8675] H2113 H4467 into all the kingdoms H776 of the earth H7451 for their hurt H2781 , to be a reproach H4912 and a proverb H8148 , a taunt H7045 and a curse H4725 , in all places H5080 whither I shall drive [H8686] them.

10 H7971 And I will send [H8765] H2719 the sword H7458 , the famine H1698 , and the pestilence H8552 , among them, till they be consumed [H8800] H127 from off the land H5414 that I gave [H8804] H1 unto them and to their fathers.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs 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 craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon. ² One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very bad 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 bad, very bad, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad. ⁴ And 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 regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for 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 up. 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 bad figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give up 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 I will even give them up to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; 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.
