Jeremiah 24
24
Vision of Two Baskets of Figs
1Yahweh opened my eyes to see a supernatural vision. It happened after King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had taken into captivity Jehoiakim’s son King Jeconiah, his officials, and all artisans and skilled workers # 24:1 Or “blacksmiths and metalworkers.” The Septuagint has “prisoners and the wealthy.” and brought them to Babylon. # 24:1 See Jer. 29:1–2; 2 Kings 24:12, 14. In this vision, I saw two baskets of figs placed in front of Yahweh’s temple. 2One basket was full of excellent figs that ripened early, # 24:2 First-ripe figs, usually appearing in June, are a delicacy. See Isa. 28:4; Hos. 9:10. and the other was full of rotten figs that were not fit to eat.
3“Jeremiah,” Yahweh asked, “what do you see?”
“Figs,” I said. “Some are very good, but the others are very bad, too rotten to eat.”
4Then Yahweh replied, 5“This is what I, Yahweh, the God of Israel, say to you: ‘The good figs are the people of Judah whom I sent away in exile to Babylon. # 24:5 Or “the land of the Chaldeans.” 6My eyes will compassionately watch over them for their good, # 24:6 See Gen. 50:20. to bring them back to this land, to build them up and not to tear them down, to plant them and not to uproot them. # 24:6 See Jer. 1:10; Ezek. 11:14–21. 7I will give them a willing heart to know that I am Yahweh. They will be my beloved people, and I will be their loving God, for they will return to me with every passion of their heart. # 24:7 See Jer. 31:31–34; 32:39.
8“ ‘As for the bad figs that were too rotten to eat, they represent King Zedekiah of Judah, his officials, and all the others left in Jerusalem who were not taken away to Babylon, whether they stayed here in Judah or went to live in Egypt. 9I will punish them with such a disaster that everyone on earth will tremble in horror when they hear about it. I will force the people of Judah to go to foreign countries, where they will be an object of scorn, cursing, and insult. # 24:9 See Deut. 28:37. 10I will send the sword, food shortages, and plague against them until they have vanished from the land I gave to them and their ancestors.’ ” # 24:10 This chapter gives an allegorical vision of the two baskets of figs: one good, one rotten. The good figs represent the people who are taken into Babylonian captivity, including Ezekiel and Daniel. The rotten figs represent those who remained in Jerusalem (including Zedekiah), who were mockers of Jeremiah and his prophecies of the coming exile (see 2 Chron. 36:14–16). God would show grace and watch over those in captivity, while severely punishing those who remained behind in Judah.
