[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.
[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.
[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.
[4]Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,[H8800]
[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.
[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]
[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.
[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:
[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.
[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.
