- Jer 24:1-3 : 1 Good Figs and Bad Figs The LORD showed me two baskets of figs sitting before his temple. This happened after King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon deported Jehoiakim’s son, King Jeconiah of Judah. He deported him and the leaders of Judah from Jerusalem, along with the craftsmen and metal workers, and took them to Babylon. 2 One basket had very good-looking figs in it. They looked like those that had ripened early. The other basket had very bad-looking figs in it, so bad they could not be eaten. 3 The LORD said to me,“What do you see, Jeremiah?” I answered,“I see figs. The good ones look very good. But the bad ones look very bad, so bad that they cannot be eaten.”

1Joseph’s Rise to Power At the end of two full years Pharaoh had a dream. As he was standing by the Nile,
2seven fine-looking, fat cows were coming up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the reeds.
3Then seven bad-looking, thin cows were coming up after them from the Nile, and they stood beside the other cows at the edge of the river.
4The bad-looking, thin cows ate the seven fine-looking, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5Then he fell asleep again and had a second dream: There were seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, healthy and good.
6Then seven heads of grain, thin and burned by the east wind, were sprouting up after them.
7The thin heads swallowed up the seven healthy and full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up and realized it was a dream.
8In the morning he was troubled, so he called for all the diviner-priests of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.

19Then seven other cows came up after them; they were scrawny, very bad-looking, and lean. I had never seen such bad-looking cows as these in all the land of Egypt!
20The lean, bad-looking cows ate up the seven fat cows.
21When they had eaten them, no one would have known that they had done so, for they were just as bad-looking as before. Then I woke up.
22I also saw in my dream seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, full and good.
23Then seven heads of grain, withered and thin and burned with the east wind, were sprouting up after them.
24The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. So I told all this to the diviner-priests, but no one could tell me its meaning.”
25Then Joseph said to Pharaoh,“Both dreams of Pharaoh have the same meaning. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26The seven good cows represent seven years, and the seven good heads of grain represent seven years. Both dreams have the same meaning.
27The seven lean, bad-looking cows that came up after them represent seven years, as do the seven empty heads of grain burned with the east wind. They represent seven years of famine.
28This is just what I told Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
29Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the whole land of Egypt.
30But seven years of famine will occur after them, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will devastate the land.
