The Good Figs and the Bad Figs

1 After Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken into exile from Jerusalem Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, together with the officials of Judah, the craftsmen, and the metal workers, and had brought them to Babylon, the Lord showed me this vision: behold, two baskets of figs placed before the temple of the Lord. (2Ki 24:12; 2Ki 24:14; 2Ch 36:10; Jer 22:18; Jer 22:24; Jer 22:28; Jer 29:2; Am 8:1; Mt 1:11) 

2 One 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. (Isa 28:4; Jer 29:17) 

3 And 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.” 

4 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 

5 “Thus 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. (Jer 29:20) 

6 I will set my eyes on 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. (Jer 1:10; Jer 12:15; Jer 29:10; Jer 31:28; Jer 42:10; Am 9:4; Am 9:15) 

7 I will give them a heart to know 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. (De 30:6; Jer 29:13; Jer 30:22; Jer 31:33; Jer 32:39; Eze 11:19; Eze 36:26; Joe 2:12) 

8 “But thus says the Lord: Like the bad figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten, so will I treat Zedekiah the king of Judah, his officials, the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt. (Jer 21:1; Jer 24:2; Jer 29:17) 

9 I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a reproach, a byword, a taunt, and a curse in all the places where I shall drive them. (De 28:37; 2Ki 22:19; 2Ch 7:20; Ne 2:17; Isa 43:28; Jer 15:4; Jer 25:18; Jer 26:6; Jer 29:18; Jer 29:22; Jer 49:13) 

10 And I will send sword, famine, and pestilence upon them, until they shall be utterly destroyed from the land that I gave to them and their fathers.” (Jer 14:12)

两筐无花果的比喻

1 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷把犹大王约雅敬的儿子耶哥尼雅、犹大的官员、技工和工匠掳到巴比伦以后，耶和华使我看见两筐无花果放在祂的殿前。 

2 一筐无花果极好，好像初熟的果子；另一筐则坏得不能吃。 

3 耶和华问我：“耶利米啊，你看见什么？”我回答说：“无花果。好的好极了，坏的坏得不能吃。” 

4 耶和华便对我说： 

5 “以色列的上帝耶和华这样说，‘那些从这里被掳到迦勒底的犹大人在我眼中是好无花果。 

6 我要眷顾他们，带他们回到这里。我要使他们兴起，不再毁灭他们；我要栽培他们，不再铲除他们； 

7 我要赐给他们一颗心，使他们认识我是耶和华。他们要做我的子民，我要做他们的上帝，因为他们必全心全意地归向我。’ 

8 至于那些坏得不能吃的无花果，耶和华这样说，‘犹大王西底迦及其官员，以及留在耶路撒冷和埃及的人在我眼中就像坏得不能吃的无花果。我必丢弃他们， 

9 使他们的遭遇令天下万国惊惧。在我流放他们去的地方，他们必受凌辱、嘲笑、讥讽和咒诅。 

10 我要使战争、饥荒和瘟疫临到他们，直到他们在我赐给他们和他们祖先的土地上灭亡。’”
