strkjv@Jeremiah:24:1 @ The LORD Y@hovah# shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs t@#en# were set before the temple of the LORD Y@hovah#, after that Nebuchadrezzar N@buwkadne'tstsar# king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah Y@konyah# the son of Jehoiakim Y@howyaqiym# king of Judah Y@huwdah#, and the princes of Judah Y@huwdah#, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim#, and had brought them to Babylon.
strkjv@Jeremiah:24:2 @ One basket had very m@#od# good figs t@#en#, even like the figs t@#en# that are first ripe: and the other basket had very m@#od# naughty figs t@#en#, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
strkjv@Jeremiah:24:3 @ Then said the LORD Y@hovah# unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs t@#en#; the good figs t@#en#, very m@#od# good; and the evil, very m@#od# evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
strkjv@Jeremiah:24:4 @ Again the word of the LORD Y@hovah# came unto me, saying,
strkjv@Jeremiah:24:5 @ Thus saith the LORD Y@hovah#, the God of Israel; Like these good figs t@#en#, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah Y@huwdah#, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.
strkjv@Jeremiah:24:6 @ 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.
strkjv@Jeremiah:24:7 @ And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD Y@hovah#: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.
strkjv@Jeremiah:24:8 @ And as the evil figs t@#en#, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the LORD Y@hovah#, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah Y@huwdah#, and his princes, and the residue sh@#eriyth# of Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim#, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:
strkjv@Jeremiah:24:9 @ 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.
strkjv@Jeremiah:24:10 @ 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.
