ASV_Strong : Jeremiah 24
1. Jehovah[H3068] showed[H7200] me[H8147], and, behold, two baskets[H1736] of figs[H8384] set[H3259] before[H6440] the temple[H1964] of Jehovah[H3068], after[H310] that Nebuchadrezzar[H5019] king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] had carried away captive[H1540] Jeconiah[H3204] the son[H1121] of Jehoiakim[H3079], king[H4428] of Judah[H3063], and the princes[H8269] of Judah[H3063], with the craftsmen[H2796] and smiths[H4525], from Jerusalem[H3389], and had brought[H935] them to Babylon[H894].
2. One[H259] basket[H1731] had very[H3966] good[H2896] figs[H8384], like the figs[H8384] that are first-ripe[H1073]; and the other[H259] basket[H1731] had very[H3966] bad[H7451] figs[H8384], which could not be eaten[H398], they were so bad[H7455].
3. Then said[H559] Jehovah[H3068] unto me[H7200], What seest thou[H3414], Jeremiah? And I said[H559], Figs[H8384]; the good[H2896] figs[H8384], very[H3966] good[H2896]; and the bad[H7451], very[H3966] bad[H7451], that cannot be eaten[H398], they are so bad[H7455].
4. And the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came unto me[H559], saying,
5. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478]: Like these good[H2896] figs[H8384], so will I regard[H5234] the captives[H1546] of Judah[H3063], whom I have sent[H7971] out of this place[H4725] into the land[H776] of the Chaldeans[H3778], for good[H2896].
6. For I will set[H7760] mine eyes[H5869] upon them for good[H2896], and I will bring them again[H7725] to this land[H776]: and I will build[H1129] them[H2040], and not pull them down; and I will plant[H5193] them[H5428], and not pluck them up.
7. And I will give[H5414] them a heart[H3820] to know[H3045] me[H3068], that I am Jehovah: and they shall be my people[H5971], and I will be their God[H430]; for they shall return[H7725] unto me with their whole heart[H3820].
8. And as the bad[H7451] figs[H8384], which cannot be eaten[H398], they are so bad[H7455], surely thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068], So will I give[H5414] up Zedekiah[H6667] the king[H4428] of Judah[H3063], and his princes[H8269], and the residue[H7611] of Jerusalem[H3389], that remain[H7604] in this land[H776], and them that dwell[H3427] in the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714],
9. I will even give[H5414] them up to be tossed[H2189] to and fro among all the kingdoms[H4467] of the earth[H776] for evil[H7451]; to be a reproach[H2781] and a proverb[H4912], a taunt[H8148] and a curse[H7045], in all places[H4725] whither I shall drive them[H5080].
10. And I will send[H7971] the sword[H2719], the famine[H7458], and the pestilence[H1698], among them[H8552], till they be consumed from off the land[H127] that I gave[H5414] unto them and to their fathers[H1].
