The Good Figs and the Bad Figs
24 (A)After Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken into exile from Jerusalem (B)Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, together with (C)the officials of Judah, the craftsmen, and the metal workers, and had brought them to Babylon, the Lord showed me this vision: behold, (D)two baskets of figs placed before the temple of the Lord. 2 One basket had very good figs, (E)like first-ripe figs, but the other basket had (F)very bad figs, so bad that they could not be eaten. 3 And the Lord said to me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I said, “Figs, the good figs very good, and the bad figs very bad, so bad that they cannot be eaten.”
4 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 5 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so I will regard as good the exiles from Judah, (G)whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans. 6 (H)I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land. (I)I will build them up, and not tear them down; (J)I will plant them, and not uproot them. 7 (K)I will give them a heart to know that I am the Lord, (L)and they shall be my people (M)and I will be their God, (N)for they shall return to me with their whole heart.
8 “But thus says the Lord: Like (O)the bad figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten, so will I treat (P)Zedekiah the king of Judah, his officials, the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who (Q)dwell in the land of Egypt. 9 I will make them (R)a horror[a] to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be (S)a reproach, (T)a byword, (U)a taunt, and (V)a curse in all the places where I shall drive them. 10 And I will send (W)sword, famine, and pestilence upon them, until they shall be utterly destroyed from the land that I gave to them and their fathers.”

El fruto malo y el bueno
24 Después de que Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, deportó de Jerusalén a Jeconías[a] hijo de Joacim, rey de Judá, junto con los jefes de Judá, los artesanos y los cerrajeros de Jerusalén, el SEÑOR me mostró dos canastos de higos que estaban frente al templo del SEÑOR. 2 Dentro de una canasta había higos muy buenos, de los primeros en madurar; dentro de la otra había higos muy malos, tan malos que no se podían comer.
3 Entonces el SEÑOR me dijo: «¿Qué ves, Jeremías?» Y yo dije: «Veo higos. Los higos buenos son excelentes, pero los malos son tan malos que no se pueden comer».
4 Entonces el SEÑOR me dio su mensaje y me dijo: 5 «Esto dice el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel: Al pueblo de Judá que envié desterrado de aquí al país de los babilonios, lo trataré como a estos higos buenos. 6 Yo los veré con buenos ojos y los traeré de regreso a esta tierra. Los restauraré y no los volveré a destruir; los plantaré y no los arrancaré más. 7 Les daré inteligencia para que me conozcan porque yo soy el SEÑOR. Ellos serán mi pueblo y yo seré su Dios, pues volverán a mí de todo corazón.
8 »Pero como a los malos higos, tan malos que no se pueden comer, dice el SEÑOR, así trataré a Sedequías, rey de Judá, a sus jefes, al resto de la gente de Jerusalén, a los que quedaron en el país y a los que viven en Egipto. 9 Los convertiré en algo que cause temor y rechazo a todas las naciones de la tierra. Los convertiré en modelo de reproche, refrán, burla y maldición en todos los lugares por donde los disperse. 10 Les enviaré guerra, hambre y enfermedad hasta que sean borrados de la tierra que les di a ellos y a sus antepasados».

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)’”
