Verse YLT Young's Literal Translation KJV King James Version

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 --

The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the LORD , after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths , from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon .

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 , 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 .

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 . '

Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said , Figs ; the good figs , very good ; and the evil, very evil , that cannot be eaten , they are so evil .

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

Again the word of the LORD came unto 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.

Thus saith the LORD , the 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.

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.

For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and 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.

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.

And I will give them an 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.

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 ,

And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; 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 them that dwell 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.

And I will deliver them to be removed into all 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.

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 the sword, the famine , and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers .
