- The Lord showed me, and there were
two
baskets of figs set before the temple of the Lord, after Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim,
king of Judah, and the princes of Judah with the craftsmen and smiths,
from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon. (2 Kin.
24:12-16; Jer. 22:24-28; Jer. 29:2)
- One basket had very good figs, like
the
figs that are first ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs which
could not be eaten, they were so bad. (Jer. 29:17)

- 'And the bad figs which cannot be
eaten, they are so bad' -- surely thus says the Lord -- 'so will I give
up Zedekiah the king of Judah, his princes, the residue of Jerusalem
who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of
Egypt. (Jer. 29:17; Jer. 39:9; Jer.
44:1; Jer. 44:26-30)
- 'I will deliver them to trouble
into
all the kingdoms of the earth, for their harm, to be a reproach and a
byword, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive
them. (Deut. 28:25; Ps.
44:13)
- 'And I will send the sword, the
famine, and the pestilence among them, till they are consumed from the
land that I gave to them and their fathers.'"
