This happened after Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had taken Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, along with the officials of Judah, the craftsmen, and the metalworkers, from Jerusalem and had brought them to Babylon. 2 One basket contained very good figs, like early-ripened figs, while the other basket contained very bad figs so bad they could not be eaten. 3 Then the LORD said to me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" And I answered, "Figs. The good figs are very good, but the bad ones are so bad they cannot be eaten." 4 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 5 This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: "As with these good figs, so I will regard with favor the exiles of Judah, whom I sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans, for their good. 6 I will watch over them with care and bring them back to this land. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not uproot them. 7 I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart. 8 But like the bad figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten, says the LORD, so will I treat Zedekiah, king of Judah, his officials, and the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land and those living in the land of Egypt.
