Jeremiah 24:1-2

Good News Translation

Two Baskets of Figs

24 ^(A)The Lord showed me two baskets of figs placed in front of the Temple. (This was after King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia had taken away Jehoiakim's son, King Jehoiachin of Judah, as a prisoner from Jerusalem to Babylonia, together with the leaders of Judah, the craftworkers, and the skilled workers.) ² The first basket contained good figs, those that ripen early; the other one contained bad figs, too bad to eat.
