Jehovah{H3068} showed{H7200} me, and, behold, two{H8147} baskets{H1736} of figs{H8384} set{H3259} before{H6440} the temple{H1964} of Jehovah,{H3068} after{H310} that Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} 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 craftsmen{H2796} and smiths,{H4525} from Jerusalem,{H3389} and had brought{H935} them to Babylon.{H894}

One{H259} basket{H1731} had very{H3966} good{H2896} figs,{H8384} like the figs{H8384} that are first-ripe;{H1073} and the other{H259} basket{H1731} had very{H3966} bad{H7451} figs,{H8384} which could not be eaten,{H398} they were so bad.{H7455}

Then said{H559} Jehovah{H3068} unto me, What seest{H7200} thou, Jeremiah?{H3414} And I said,{H559} Figs;{H8384} the good{H2896} figs,{H8384} very{H3966} good;{H2896} and the bad,{H7451} very{H3966} bad,{H7451} that cannot be eaten,{H398} they are so bad.{H7455}

And the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came unto me, saying,{H559}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel:{H3478} Like these good{H2896} figs,{H8384} so will I regard{H5234} the captives{H1546} of Judah,{H3063} whom I have sent{H7971} out of this place{H4725} into the land{H776} of the Chaldeans,{H3778} for good.{H2896}

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

And I will give{H5414} them a heart{H3820} to know{H3045} me, that I am Jehovah:{H3068} and they shall be my people,{H5971} and I will be their God;{H430} for they shall return{H7725} unto me with their whole heart.{H3820}

And as the bad{H7451} figs,{H8384} which cannot be eaten,{H398} they are so bad,{H7455} surely thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} So will I give{H5414} up 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,{H776} and them that dwell{H3427} in the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714}

I will even give{H5414} them up to be tossed{H2189} to and fro among all the kingdoms{H4467} of the earth{H776} for evil;{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.

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{H127} that I gave{H5414} unto them and to their fathers.{H1}
