Jeremiah 24

1 to see: see me LORD and behold two pot fig to appoint to/for face: before temple LORD after to reveal: remove Nebuchadnezzar king Babylon [obj] Jeconiah son: child Jehoiakim king Judah and [obj] ruler Judah and [obj] [the] artificer and [obj] [the] locksmith from Jerusalem and to come (in): bring them Babylon

[The army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon captured Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, and his officials, and all his skilled workers [DOU] and took them to Babylon. After that happened, Yahweh gave me a vision. [In the vision] I saw two baskets of figs that had been placed in front of the temple.

2 [the] pot one fig pleasant much like/as fig [the] early fig and [the] pot one fig bad: harmful much which not to eat from evil

One basket was full of good figs, like the kind that ripen first. The other basket was filled with figs that were bad/rotten, with the result that they could not be eaten.

3 and to say LORD to(wards) me what? you(m. s.) to see: see Jeremiah and to say fig [the] fig [the] pleasant pleasant much and [the] bad: harmful bad: harmful much which not to eat from evil

Then Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I replied, “[I see some] figs. Some are very good ones, but some are very bad, with the result that no one would eat them.”

4 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say

Then Yahweh gave me this message:

5 thus to say LORD God Israel like/as fig [the] pleasant [the] these so to recognize [obj] captivity Judah which to send: depart from [the] place [the] this land: country/planet Chaldea to/for welfare

“This is what [I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say that they worship], say: ‘The good figs represent [SIM] the people of Judah whom I exiled to Babylonia.

6 and to set: make eye my upon them to/for welfare and to return: return them upon [the] land: country/planet [the] this and to build them and not to overthrow and to plant them and not to uproot

I [SYN] will (watch over/take care of) them well, and [some day] I will bring them back here [to Judah]. I will establish them and cause them to be strong. I will cause them to be prosperous [MET], and I will not exile them [again].

7 and to give: give to/for them heart to/for to know [obj] me for I LORD and to be to/for me to/for people and I to be to/for them to/for God for to return: return to(wards) me in/on/with all heart their

I will enable them to desire to know [IDM] that I am Yahweh. They will be my people, and I will be their God, because they will return to me sincerely.’

8 and like/as fig [the] bad: harmful which not to eat from evil for thus to say LORD so to give: make [obj] Zedekiah king Judah and [obj] ruler his and [obj] remnant Jerusalem [the] to remain in/on/with land: country/planet [the] this and [the] to dwell in/on/with land: country/planet Egypt

But [I], Yahweh, [also] say, ‘The bad figs represent [SIM] Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his officials, and all the [other] people who remain in Jerusalem, and those who have gone to Egypt. I will do to them like people do to rotten figs.

9 and to give: make them (to/for horror *Q(K)*) to/for distress: evil to/for all kingdom [the] land: country/planet to/for reproach and to/for proverb to/for taunt and to/for curse in/on/with all [the] place which to banish them there

I will [get rid of them], with the result that people in every nation on the earth will be horrified, and will hate them because they are evil people. Wherever I scatter them, people will make fun of them, and say that they are disgraced, and ridicule them, and curse them.

10 and to send: depart in/on/with them [obj] [the] sword [obj] [the] famine and [obj] [the] pestilence till to finish they from upon [the] land: soil which to give: give to/for them and to/for father their

And I will cause them to experience wars and famines and diseases, until they have disappeared from this land which I gave to them and to their ancestors.’”
