1After 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.

2One 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.
“One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe. And the other basket had very naughty figs which could not be eaten. They were so bad.”
“One basket had very good figs, even like the figs at our first ripe, and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.”
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."
“Then said the Lord unto me, what sayest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, figs, the good figs, very good. And evil figs, very evil. They cannot be eaten. They are so evil.”
4Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
“again the word of the Lord came unto me saying,”
“Again, the word of the Lord came to me saying”
“Again, the word of the Lord came unto me saying,”
“Then the word of the Lord came to me,”
“again. The word of the Lord came to me saying,”
“again the Word of the Lord came 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 saith the Lord God of Israel, like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.”
“thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, like these good figs so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive into Judah whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.”
6I 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.
“For I will set my eyes upon them for good. I will bring them again to this land and I will build them and not pull them down and I will plant them and not pluck them up.”
7I 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 them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord and they shall be my people and I will be their God. For they shall return unto me with their whole heart.”
“I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to me with their whole heart.”

8But 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 as the evil figs which cannot be eaten because they're so rotten, surely thus saith the Lord, so will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah and his princes and the residue of Jerusalem that remain in this land and then that dwell…”
9I 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 deliver them to be removed into all of the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse in all places whither I shall drive them.”
10And 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.'"
