Yeremia 24:2-10

24:2 One basket had very good-looking figs in it. They looked like those that had ripened early. ¹  The other basket had very bad-looking figs in it, so bad they could not be eaten. 24:3 The Lord said to me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I answered, “I see figs. The good ones look very good. But the bad ones look very bad, so bad that they cannot be eaten.”

24:4 The Lord said to me, ²  24:5 “I, the Lord, the God of Israel, say: ‘The exiles whom I sent away from here to the land of Babylon ³  are like those good figs. I consider them to be good. 24:6 I will look after their welfare ⁴  and will restore them to this land. There I will build them up and will not tear them down. I will plant them firmly in the land ⁵  and will not uproot them. ⁶  24:7 I will give them the desire to acknowledge that I ⁷  am the Lord. I will be their God and they will be my people. For they will wholeheartedly ⁸  return to me.’

24:8 “I, the Lord, also solemnly assert: ‘King Zedekiah of Judah, his officials, and the people who remain in Jerusalem ⁹  or who have gone to live in Egypt are like those bad figs. I consider them to be just like those bad figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten. ¹⁰  24:9 I will bring such disaster on them that all the kingdoms of the earth will be horrified. I will make them an object of reproach, a proverbial example of disaster. I will make them an object of ridicule, an example to be used in curses. ¹¹  That is how they will be remembered wherever I banish them. ¹²  24:10 I will bring war, starvation, and disease ¹³  on them until they are completely destroyed from the land I gave them and their ancestors.’” ¹⁴
