Baskets of Figs and the Returnees
24 After (A)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken into exile Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the officials of Judah with the craftsmen and metalworkers from Jerusalem and had brought them to Babylon, the Lord showed me: behold, two (B)baskets of figs placed before the temple of the Lord. 2 One basket had very good figs, like (C)first-ripe figs, and the other basket had (D)very bad figs which could not be eaten due to rottenness. 3 Then the Lord said to me, “(E)What do you see, Jeremiah?” And I said, “Figs: the good figs are very good, and the bad ones, very bad, which cannot be eaten due to rottenness.”
4 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 5 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘Like these good figs, so I will regard (F)as good the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans. 6 For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will (G)bring them back to this land; and I will (H)build them up and not overthrow them, and I will (I)plant them and not uproot them. 7 I will also give them a (J)heart to know Me, for I am the Lord; and they will be (K)My people, and I will be their God, for they will (L)return to Me wholeheartedly.
8 ‘But like the (M)bad figs which cannot be eaten due to rottenness,’ indeed, this is what the Lord says, ‘so will I give up (N)Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials, and the (O)remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and the ones who live in the land of (P)Egypt. 9 I will (Q)make them an object of terror and an evil for all the kingdoms of the earth, as a (R)disgrace and a proverb, a taunt and a (S)curse in all the places where I will scatter them. 10 And I will send the (T)sword, the famine, and the plague upon them until they are eliminated from the land which I gave to them and their forefathers.’”

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)’”

The Message
Two Baskets of Figs
24 1-2 God showed me two baskets of figs placed in front of the Temple of God. This was after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem into exile in Babylon, along with the leaders of Judah, the craftsmen, and the skilled laborers. In one basket the figs were of the finest quality, ripe and ready to eat. In the other basket the figs were rotten, so rotten they couldn’t be eaten.
3 God said to me, “Jeremiah, what do you see?”
“Figs,” I said. “Excellent figs of the finest quality, and also rotten figs, so rotten they can’t be eaten.”
4-6 Then God told me, “This is the Message from the God of Israel: The exiles from here that I’ve sent off to the land of the Babylonians are like the good figs, and I’ll make sure they get good treatment. I’ll keep my eye on them so that their lives are good, and I’ll bring them back to this land. I’ll build them up, not tear them down; I’ll plant them, not uproot them.
7 “And I’ll give them a heart to know me, God. They’ll be my people and I’ll be their God, for they’ll have returned to me with all their hearts.
8-10 “But like the rotten figs, so rotten they can’t be eaten, is Zedekiah king of Judah. Rotten figs—that’s how I’ll treat him and his leaders, along with the survivors here and those down in Egypt. I’ll make them something that the whole world will look on as disgusting—repugnant outcasts, their names used as curse words wherever in the world I drive them. And I’ll make sure they die like flies—from war, starvation, disease, whatever—until the land I once gave to them and their ancestors is completely rid of them.”

Mediante dois cestos de figos, o futuro do povo é revelado
24 Fez-me o Senhor ver, e vi dois cestos de figos postos diante do templo do Senhor, depois que Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, levou em cativeiro a Jeconias, filho de Jeoaquim, rei de Judá, e os príncipes de Judá, e os carpinteiros, e os ferreiros de Jerusalém e os trouxe à Babilônia. 2 Um cesto tinha figos muito bons, como os figos temporãos, mas o outro cesto tinha figos muito maus, que não se podiam comer, de maus que eram. 3 E disse-me o Senhor: Que vês tu, Jeremias? E eu disse: Figos. Os figos bons, muito bons, e os maus, muito maus, que não se podem comer, de maus que são.
4 Então, veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo: 5 Assim diz o Senhor, o Deus de Israel: Como a estes bons figos, assim conhecerei aos de Judá levados em cativeiro e que eu enviei deste lugar para a terra dos caldeus, para seu bem. 6 Porei os olhos sobre eles, para seu bem, e os farei voltar a esta terra; e edificá-los-ei, e não os destruirei, e plantá-los-ei, e não os arrancarei. 7 E dar-lhes-ei coração para que me conheçam, porque eu sou o Senhor; e ser-me-ão por povo, e eu lhes serei por Deus, porque se converterão a mim de todo o seu coração.
8 E, como aos figos maus, que se não podem comer, de maus que são (porque assim diz o Senhor), assim entregarei Zedequias, rei de Judá, e os seus príncipes, e o resto de Jerusalém, tanto os que ficaram nesta terra como os que habitaram na terra do Egito. 9 Eu os entregarei para que sejam um terror, um mal para todos os reinos da terra, um opróbrio, provérbio, um escárnio e uma maldição em todos os lugares para onde os arrojei. 10 E enviarei entre eles a espada, a fome e a peste, até que se consumam de sobre a terra que dei a eles e a seus pais.

Duas Cestas de Figos
24 E o Senhor mostrou-me dois cestos de figos postos diante do templo do Senhor. Isso aconteceu depois que Nabucodonosor levou de Jerusalém, para o exílio na Babilônia, Joaquim[a], filho de Jeoaquim, rei de Judá, os líderes de Judá, e os artesãos e artífices. 2 Um cesto continha figos muito bons, como os que amadurecem no princípio da colheita; os figos do outro cesto eram ruins e intragáveis.
3 Então o Senhor me perguntou: “O que você vê, Jeremias?”
Eu respondi: Figos. Os bons são muitos bons, mas os ruins são intragáveis.
4 Então o Senhor me dirigiu a palavra, dizendo: 5 “Assim diz o Senhor, o Deus de Israel: Considero como esses figos bons os exilados de Judá, os quais expulsei deste lugar para a terra dos babilônios, a fim de fazer-lhes bem. 6 Olharei favoravelmente para eles, e não os trarei de volta a esta terra. Eu os edificarei e não os derrubarei; eu os plantarei e não os arrancarei. 7 Eu lhes darei um coração capaz de conhecer-me e de saber que eu sou o Senhor. Serão o meu povo, e eu serei o seu Deus, pois eles se voltarão para mim de todo o coração.
8 “Mas como se faz com os figos ruins e intragáveis”, diz o Senhor, “assim lidarei com Zedequias, rei de Judá, com os seus líderes e com os sobreviventes de Jerusalém, tanto os que permanecem nesta terra como os que vivem no Egito. 9 Eu os tornarei objeto de terror e de desgraça para todos os reinos da terra. Para onde quer que eu os expulsar, serão uma afronta e servirão de exemplo, ridículo e maldição. 10 Enviarei contra eles a guerra, a fome e a peste até que sejam eliminados da terra que dei a eles e aos seus antepassados”.
