Two baskets of figs were set before the temple. 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 bad.
My
Hi-lite: Jeremiah 24:1
The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets
of figs were set before the temple of the
LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive
Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah,
with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to
Babylon.

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 bad.

Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said,
Figs;
the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten,

Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like
these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive
of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place
into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.
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.

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 evil 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 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 the
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.
