两筐无花果的比喻
24 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷把犹大王约雅敬的儿子耶哥尼雅、犹大的官员、技工和工匠掳到巴比伦以后,耶和华使我看见两筐无花果放在祂的殿前。 2 一筐无花果极好,好像初熟的果子;另一筐则坏得不能吃。 3 耶和华问我:“耶利米啊,你看见什么?”我回答说:“无花果。好的好极了,坏的坏得不能吃。”
4 耶和华便对我说: 5 “以色列的上帝耶和华这样说,‘那些从这里被掳到迦勒底的犹大人在我眼中是好无花果。 6 我要眷顾他们,带他们回到这里。我要使他们兴起,不再毁灭他们;我要栽培他们,不再铲除他们; 7 我要赐给他们一颗心,使他们认识我是耶和华。他们要做我的子民,我要做他们的上帝,因为他们必全心全意地归向我。’ 8 至于那些坏得不能吃的无花果,耶和华这样说,‘犹大王西底迦及其官员,以及留在耶路撒冷和埃及的人在我眼中就像坏得不能吃的无花果。我必丢弃他们, 9 使他们的遭遇令天下万国惊惧。在我流放他们去的地方,他们必受凌辱、嘲笑、讥讽和咒诅。 10 我要使战争、饥荒和瘟疫临到他们,直到他们在我赐给他们和他们祖先的土地上灭亡。’”

两筐无花果的比喻
24 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒把犹大王约雅敬的儿子耶哥尼雅,和犹大的众领袖、工匠与铁匠从耶路撒冷掳到巴比伦去。这事以后,耶和华使我看见在耶和华的殿前面摆着两筐无花果。 2 一筐是极好的无花果,像初熟的无花果;另一筐是极坏的无花果,坏到不能吃。 3 于是耶和华问我:“耶利米啊,你看见甚么?”我回答:“我看见无花果。那些好的无花果极好,坏的却极坏,坏到不能吃。”
好无花果
4 耶和华的话临到我,说: 5 “耶和华以色列的 神这样说:‘被掳去的犹大人,就是我打发离开这地方到迦勒底人之地去的,我必看他们如同这些好的无花果一样,眷顾他们。 6 我必关注他们,眷顾他们,领他们归回这地。我必建立他们,必不拆毁;我必栽植他们,必不拔除。 7 我必赐给他们一颗认识我的心,知道我就是耶和华;他们要作我的子民,我要亲自作他们的 神,因为他们必一心归向我。’”
坏无花果
8 “但耶和华这样说:‘我怎样处置那些坏到不能吃的坏无花果,我也必照样对待犹大王西底家、他的众领袖和耶路撒冷的余民,不论是余剩在这地的,或是住在埃及地的。 9 我必使他们成为地上万国所惊恐、所讨厌的;在我赶逐他们到的各地方,成为被人羞辱、讥笑、嘲弄、咒诅的对象。 10 我必打发刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫去攻击他们,直到他们从我赐给他们和他们列祖的土地上都消灭了。’”
Jeremiah 24

Two Baskets of Figs
24 After Jehoiachin[a](A) son of Jehoiakim king of Judah and the officials, the skilled workers and the artisans of Judah were carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Lord showed me two baskets of figs(B) placed in front of the temple of the Lord. 2 One basket had very good figs, like those that ripen early;(C) the other basket had very bad(D) figs, so bad they could not be eaten.
3 Then the Lord asked me, “What do you see,(E) Jeremiah?”
“Figs,” I answered. “The good ones are very good, but the bad ones are so bad they cannot be eaten.”
4 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 5 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Like these good figs, I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I sent(F) away from this place to the land of the Babylonians.[b] 6 My eyes will watch over them for their good, and I will bring them back(G) to this land. I will build(H) them up and not tear them down; I will plant(I) them and not uproot them. 7 I will give them a heart to know(J) me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people,(K) and I will be their God, for they will return(L) to me with all their heart.(M)
8 “‘But like the bad(N) figs, which are so bad they cannot be eaten,’ says the Lord, ‘so will I deal with Zedekiah(O) king of Judah, his officials(P) and the survivors(Q) from Jerusalem, whether they remain in this land or live in Egypt.(R) 9 I will make them abhorrent(S) and an offense to all the kingdoms of the earth, a reproach and a byword,(T) a curse[c](U) and an object of ridicule, wherever I banish(V) them. 10 I will send the sword,(W) famine(X) and plague(Y) against them until they are destroyed from the land I gave to them and their ancestors.(Z)’”

King James Version
24 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.
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 bad.
3 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, they are so evil.
4 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
5 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.
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 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 them.
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.
