1 2 Kings 24.10–16; 2 Chr 36.10; Jer 22.24; 29.2; Am 8.1 The Lord showed me two baskets of figs placed before the temple of the Lord. This was after King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon had taken into exile from Jerusalem King Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim of Judah, together with the officials of Judah, the artisans, and the smiths, and had brought them to Babylon.
2Jer 27.17; Nah 3.12One basket had very good figs, like first-ripe figs, but the other basket had very bad figs, so bad that they could not be eaten.
3Jer 1.11, 13And 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.”
4Then the word of the Lord came to me:
5Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so I will regard as good the exiles from Judah whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans.
6Jer 29.10; 33.7; 42.10; Ezek 11.17I will set my eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them back to this land. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not pluck them up.
7Jer 29.13; 31.33; 32.40; Zech 8.8; Heb 8.10I will give them a heart to know that I am the Lord, and they will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with their whole heart.
8 Jer 29.17; 39.5, 9; 44.26–30 But thus says the Lord: Like the bad figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten, so will I treat King Zedekiah of Judah, his officials, the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who live in the land of Egypt.
91 Kings 9.7; Ps 44.13, 14; Isa 65.15; Jer 15.4; 29.18; 34.17I will make them a horror, an evil thing, to all the kingdoms of the earth—a disgrace, a byword, a taunt, and a curse in all the places where I shall drive them.
10Isa 51.19; Jer 21.9; 27.8And I will send sword, famine, and pestilence upon them until they are utterly destroyed from the land that I gave to them and their ancestors.
