Book 24 : JEREMIAH - Chapter 024
024:001
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
024:002
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
024:003
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying
024:004
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
024:005
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
024:006
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
024:007
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
024:008
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
024:009
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
