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 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 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.
