| [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]The Lord showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the Lord, after that Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah with the workmen, and cunning men of Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon. |
| [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, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so evil. |
| [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 said the Lord unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs: the good figs very good, and the naughty very naughty, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil. |
| [4]Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,[H8800] |
[4]Again the word of the Lord came unto 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 saith the Lord, the God of Israel, Like these good figs, so will I know them that are carried away captive of Judah to be good, whom I have sent out of this place, into the land of the Caldeans. |
| [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 mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land, and I will build them, and not destroy them, and I will plant them, and not root them out, |
| [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 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 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 as the naughty 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 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]I will even give them for a terrible plague to all the kingdoms of the earth, and for a reproach, and for a proverb, for a common talk, and for a curse, in all places where I shall cast 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 the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, till they be consumed out of the land, that I gave unto them and to their fathers. |
