Jeremiah 24:1-3

Lexham English Bible

Two Baskets of Figs

24 Yahweh showed me, and look, there were two baskets of figs placed before^[a] the temple of Yahweh—after Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had deported Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, with the officials of Judah, and the craftsmen, and the smiths,^[b] from Jerusalem and had brought them to Babylon. ² The one basket had very good figs, like early figs,^[c] and the other basket had very bad figs that could not be eaten because of their bad quality. ³ And Yahweh asked me, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I said, “Figs—the good figs, very good, and the bad figs, very bad, that cannot be eaten because of their bad quality.”
