| [1]The LORDH3068 shewedH7200[H8689] me, and, behold, twoH8147 basketsH1736 of figsH8384 were setH3259[H8716] beforeH6440 the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, afterH310 that NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had carried away captiveH1540[H8687] JeconiahH3204 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, with the carpentersH2796 and smithsH4525, from JerusalemH3389, and had broughtH935[H8686] them to BabylonH894. |
[1]AFTER Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with the craftsmen and the soldiers, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon, the LORD showed me, and, behold two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the LORD. |
| [2]OneH259 basketH1731 had veryH3966 goodH2896 figsH8384, even like the figsH8384 that are first ripeH1073: and the otherH259 basketH1731 had veryH3966 naughtyH7451 figsH8384, which could not be eatenH398[H8735], they were so badH7455. |
[2]One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, so that they could not be eaten, because they were so bad. |
| [3]Then saidH559[H8799] the LORDH3068 unto me, What seestH7200[H8802] thou, JeremiahH3414? And I saidH559[H8799], FigsH8384; the goodH2896 figsH8384, veryH3966 goodH2896; and the evilH7451, veryH3966 evilH7451, that cannot be eatenH398[H8735], they are so evilH7455. |
[3]Then the LORD said to me, What do you see, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad figs, very bad, so that they cannot be eaten because they are so bad. |
| [4]Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,[H8800] |
[4]Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, |
| [5]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Like these goodH2896 figsH8384, so will I acknowledgeH5234[H8686] them that are carried away captiveH1546 of JudahH3063, whom I have sentH7971[H8765] out of this placeH4725 into the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 for their goodH2896. |
[5]Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge the exiles of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place to the land of the Chaldeans for their good. |
| [6]For I will setH7760[H8804] mine eyesH5869 upon them for goodH2896, and I will bring them againH7725[H8689] to this landH776: and I will buildH1129[H8804] them, and not pull them downH2040[H8799]; and I will plantH5193[H8804] them, and not pluck them upH5428.[H8799] |
[6]For I will set my eyes upon them for good and not for evil, says the LORD, and I will bring them again to this land; and I will build them and not overthrow them; and I will plant them and not pluck them up. |
| [7]And I will giveH5414[H8804] them an heartH3820 to knowH3045[H8800] me, that I am the LORDH3068: and they shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430: for they shall returnH7725[H8799] unto me with their whole heartH3820. |
[7]And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God when they shall return to me with their whole heart. |
| [8]And as the evilH7451 figsH8384, which cannot be eatenH398[H8735], they are so evilH7455; surely thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, So will I giveH5414[H8799] ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and his princesH8269, and the residueH7611 of JerusalemH3389, that remainH7604[H8737] in this landH776, and them that dwellH3427[H8802] in the landH776 of EgyptH4714: |
[8]And like the bad figs which cannot be eaten because they are so bad; thus says the LORD, So will I deliver Zedekiah the king of Judah and his princes and the remnant of the people who are left in this city together with those who dwell in the land of Egypt; |
| [9]And I will deliverH5414[H8804] them to be removedH2189[H8675][H2113] into all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 for their hurtH7451, to be a reproachH2781 and a proverbH4912, a tauntH8148 and a curseH7045, in all placesH4725 whither I shall driveH5080 themH8686. |
[9]And I will make them a horror, an abomination and an evil thing, a reproach in all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a reproach, a proverb, a taunt, and a curse in all the lands where I have driven them. |
| [10]And I will sendH7971[H8765] the swordH2719, the famineH7458, and the pestilenceH1698, among them, till they be consumedH8552[H8800] from off the landH127 that I gaveH5414[H8804] unto them and to their fathersH1. |
[10]And I will send after them the sword, famine, and pestilence, till I shall destroy them off the land which I gave to them and to their fathers |
