Verse YLT Young's Literal Translation BSB Berean Standard Bible

Jehovah hath shewed me, and lo, two baskets of figs, appointed before the temple of Jehovah, -- after the removing by Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon , of Jeconiah , son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the heads of Judah , and the artizan, and the smith, from Jerusalem, when he bringeth them into Babylon --

After 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.

In the one basket `are' figs very good, like the first-ripe figs , and in the other basket `are' figs very bad , that are not eaten for badness .

One 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.

And Jehovah saith unto me , `What art thou seeing , Jeremiah ? ' and I say, ` Figs , the good figs ` are ' very good, and the bad ` are ' very bad, that are not eaten for badness . '

“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. ”

And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying :

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying ,

Thus said Jehovah , God of Israel, Like these good figs so do I acknowledge The removed of Judah -- that I sent from this place , ` To ' the land of the Chaldeans -- for good .

“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.

And I have set Mine eyes on them for good , And have brought them back to this land , And built them up , and I throw not down , And have planted them , and pluck not up .

I 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 .

And have given to them a heart to know Me, For I ` am ' Jehovah, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for God, For they turned back unto Me with all their heart.

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 all their heart.

And like the bad figs, that are not eaten for badness , Surely thus said Jehovah: So do I make Zedekiah king of Judah, And his heads , and the remnant of Jerusalem , Who are left in this land , And who are dwelling in the land of Egypt ,

But 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 I have given them for a trembling, For evil -- to all kingdoms of the earth, For a reproach, and for a simile , For a byword , and for a reviling, In all the places whither I drive them.

I 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 have sent against them the sword , The famine and the pestilence , Till their consumption from off the ground, That I gave to them and to their fathers !

And 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 .’”
