< Jeremiah 24 >

1 After Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, as well as the officials of Judah and the craftsmen and metalsmiths from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon, the LORD showed me two baskets of figs placed in front of the temple of the LORD.
He showed me Yahweh and there! two baskets of figs [were] set before [the] temple of Yahweh after took into exile Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon Jeconiah [the] son of Jehoiakim [the] king of Judah and [the] officials of Judah and the craftsman and the smith[s] from Jerusalem and he brought them Babylon.
2 One basket had very good figs, like those that ripen early, but the other basket contained very poor figs, so bad they could not be eaten.
The basket one [was] figs good very like [the] figs of the early figs and the basket one [was] figs bad very which not they will be eaten from badness.
3 “Jeremiah,” the LORD asked, “what do you see?” “Figs!” I replied. “The good figs are very good, but the bad figs are very bad, so bad they cannot be eaten.”
And he said Yahweh to me what? [are] you seeing O Jeremiah and I said figs the figs good [are] good very and the bad [figs] [are] bad very which not they will be eaten from badness.
4 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
5 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Like these good figs, so I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans.
Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel like the figs good these so I will regard [the] exile[s] of Judah whom I have sent from the place this [the] land of [the] Chaldeans for good.
6 I will keep My eyes on them for good and will return them to this land. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not uproot them.
And I will set eye my on them for good and I will bring back them to the land this and I will build up them and not I will tear [them] down and I will plant them and not I will pluck [them] up.
7 I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD. They will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with all their heart.
And I will give to them a heart to know me that I [am] Yahweh and they will become for me a people and I I will become for them God for they will return to me with all heart their.
8 But like the bad figs, so bad they cannot be eaten,’ says the LORD, ‘so will I deal with Zedekiah king of Judah, his officials, and the remnant of Jerusalem—those remaining in this land and those living in the land of Egypt.
And like the figs bad which not they will be eaten from badness for thus - he says Yahweh so I will make Zedekiah [the] king of Judah and officials his and - [the] remnant of Jerusalem those [who] remain in the land this and those [who] dwell in [the] land of Egypt.
9 I will make them a horror and an offense to all the kingdoms of the earth, a disgrace and an object of scorn, ridicule, and cursing wherever I have banished them.
And I will make them (into a terror *Q(K)*) into an evil to all [the] kingdoms of the earth into a reproach and into a byword into a taunt and into a curse in all the places where I will banish them there.
10 And I will send against them sword and famine and plague, until they have perished from the land that I gave to them and their fathers.’”
And I will send on them the sword the famine and the pestilence until are finished they from on the ground which I gave to them and to ancestors their.
