          DASV: Jeremiah 24    

1 The LORD showed me two baskets of figs set before the temple
of the LORD, after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried
away captive Jehoiachin the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah,
and the officials of Judah, along with the craftsmen and metal
workers from Jerusalem, and brought them to Babylon.
2 One basket had very good figs, like first-ripe figs, but the
other basket had very bad figs, that were so bad they could
not be eaten.
3 Then the LORD asked me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" I replied,
"Figs, the good figs, look very good; and the bad ones look
very bad, so bad that they cannot be eaten."

4 The word of LORD came to me, saying,
5 "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel says: Like these
good figs, so I will regard the captives of Judah, whom I have
sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans. These
I consider good.
6 For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring
them back again to this land. I will build them up, and not
tear them down. I will plant them, and not uproot them.
7 I 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 their whole heart."

8 Now concerning the bad figs, which were so bad they cannot
be eaten, this is what the LORD says, "This is the way I
will treat Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his officials,
and those left in Jerusalem, who remain in this land,
as well as those who live in the land of Egypt.
9 I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth;
a reproach and an epithet, a taunt and a curse, in all
places where I will drive them.
10 I will send the sword, famine, and the plague among them
until they are consumed from off the land that I gave to them
and to their forefathers."
