Jeremiah 24 (WEBP)

[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.’”

Jeremiah 24 (KJVS)

[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.

[1] εδειξεν μοι κυριος δυο καλαθους συκων κειμενους κατα προσωπον ναου κυριου μετα το αποικισαι ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεα βαβυλωνος τον ιεχονιαν υιον ιωακιμ βασιλεα ιουδα και τους αρχοντας και τους τεχνιτας και τους δεσμωτας και τους πλουσιους εξ ιερουσαλημ και ηγαγεν αυτους εις βαβυλωνα
[2] ο καλαθος ο εις συκων χρηστων σφοδρα ως τα συκα τα προιμα και ο καλαθος ο ετερος συκων πονηρων σφοδρα α ου βρωθησεται απο πονηριας αυτων
[3] και ειπεν κυριος προς με τι συ ορας ιερεμια και ειπα συκα τα χρηστα χρηστα λιαν και τα πονηρα πονηρα λιαν α ου βρωθησεται απο πονηριας αυτων
[4] και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
[5] ταδε λεγει κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ ως τα συκα τα χρηστα ταυτα ουτως επιγνωσομαι τους αποικισθεντας ιουδα ους εξαπεσταλκα εκ του τοπου τουτου εις γην χαλδαιων εις αγαθα
[6] και στηριω τους οφθαλμους μου επ αυτους εις αγαθα και αποκαταστησω αυτους εις την γην ταυτην εις αγαθα και ανοικοδομησω αυτους και ου μη καθελω και καταφυτευσω αυτους και ου μη εκτιλω
[7] και δωσω αυτοις καρδιαν του ειδεναι αυτους εμε οτι εγω ειμι κυριος και εσονται μοι εις λαον και εγω εσομαι αυτοις εις θεον οτι επιστραφησονται επ εμε εξ ολης της καρδιας αυτων
[8] και ως τα συκα τα πονηρα α ου βρωθησεται απο πονηριας αυτων ταδε λεγει κυριος ουτως παραδωσω τον σεδεκιαν βασιλεα ιουδα και τους μεγιστανας αυτου και το καταλοιπον ιερουσαλημ τους υπολελειμμενους εν τη γη ταυτη και τους κατοικουντας εν αιγυπτω
[9] και δωσω αυτους εις διασκορπισμον εις πασας τας βασιλειας της γης και εσονται εις ονειδισμον και εις παραβολην και εις μισος και εις καταραν εν παντι τοπω ου εξωσα αυτους εκει
[10] και αποστελω εις αυτους τον λιμον και τον θανατον και την μαχαιραν εως αν εκλιπωσιν απο της γης ης εδωκα αυτοις
