[1] Yahweh showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs were set before Yahweh’s temple, after Nebuchadnezzar 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 Yahweh asked me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?”I said, “Figs. The good figs are very good, and the bad are very bad, so bad that they can’t be eaten.” [4] Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, [5] “Yahweh, the God of Israel says: ‘Like these good figs, so I will regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, as good. [6] For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land. I will build them, and not pull them down. I will plant them, and not pluck them up. [7] I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Yahweh. They will be my people, and I will be their God; for they will return to me with their whole heart. [8] “‘As the bad figs, which can’t be eaten, they are so bad,’ surely Yahweh says, ‘So I will give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt. [9] I will even give them up to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I will drive them. [10] I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, until they are consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.’”
King James Version

Parable of the Figs

[1] The Lord H3068 shewed H7200 me, and, behold, two H8147 baskets H1736 of figs H8384 were set H3259 before H6440 the temple H1964 of the Lord, H3068 after H310 that Nebuchadrezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 had carried away captive H1540 H853 Jeconiah H3204 the son H1121 of Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 and the princes H8269 of Judah, H3063 with the carpenters H2796 and smiths, H4525 from Jerusalem, H3389 and had brought H935 them to Babylon. H894 [2] One H259 basket H1731 had very H3966 good H2896 figs, H8384 even like the figs H8384 that are first ripe: H1073 and the other H259 basket H1731 had very H3966 naughty H7451 figs, H8384 which H834 could not be eaten, H398 they were so bad. H7455§ [3] Then said H559 the Lord H3068 unto H413 me, What seest H7200 thou, Jeremiah? H3414 And I said, H559 Figs; H8384 the good H2896 figs, H8384 very H3966 good; H2896 and the evil, H7451 very H3966 evil, H7451 that cannot be eaten, H398 they are so evil. H7455 [4] Again the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto me, saying, H559 [5] Thus saith H559 the Lord, H3068 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Like these good H2896 figs, H8384 so will I acknowledge H5234 H853 them that are carried away captive H1546§ of Judah, H3063 whom H834 I have sent H7971 out of H4480 this place H4725 into the land H776 of the Chaldeans H3778 for their good. H2896 [6] For I will set H7760 mine eyes H5869 upon H5921 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 [7] And I will give H5414 them an heart H3820 to know H3045 me, that I am the Lord: H3068 and they shall be my people, H5971 and I will be their God: H430 for H3588 they shall return H7725 unto H413 me with their whole heart. H3820 [8] And as the evil H7451 figs, H8384 which H834 cannot be eaten, H398 they are so evil; H7455 surely H3588 thus saith H559 the Lord, H3068 So will I give H5414 H853 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 [9] and I will deliver H5414 them to be removed H2189§ H2113 into all the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776 for their hurt, 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. [10] And I will send H7971 H853 the sword, H2719 H853 the famine, H7458 and the pestilence, H1698 among them, till they be consumed H8552 from off the land H127 that I gave H5414 unto H5704 them and to their fathers.
