Jeremiah 24:1 (NIRV) New International Reader's Version

1 King Jehoiachin was forced to leave Jerusalem. He was the son of Jehoiakim. Jehoiachin was taken to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylonia. The officials and all of the skilled workers were forced to leave with him. After they left, the Lord showed me two baskets of figs. They were in front of his temple.
2 One basket had very good figs in it. They were like figs that ripen early. The other basket had figs that weren't good at all. In fact, they were so bad they couldn't even be eaten.
3 Then the Lord asked me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" "Figs," I answered. "The good ones are very good. But the others are so bad they can't be eaten."
4 Then a message came to me from the Lord. He said,
5 "I am the Lord, the God of Israel. I say, 'I consider the people who were forced to leave Judah to be like those good figs. I sent them away from this place. I forced them to go to Babylonia.
6 My eyes will watch over them. I will be good to them. And I will bring them back to this land. I will build them up. I will not tear them down. I will plant them. I will not pull them up by the roots.
7 " 'I will change their hearts. Then they will know that I am the Lord. They will be my people. And I will be their God. They will return to me with all their heart.
8 " 'But there are also figs that are not very good. In fact, they are so bad they can't be eaten,' says the Lord. 'Zedekiah, the king of Judah, is like those bad figs. So are his officials and the people of Jerusalem who are still left alive. I will punish them whether they remain in this land or live in Egypt.
9 " 'I will make all of the kingdoms on earth displeased with them. In fact, they will hate them a great deal. They will laugh and joke about them. They will call down curses on them. All of that will happen no matter where I force them to go.
10 I will send war, hunger and plague against them. They will be destroyed from the land I gave them and their people of long ago.' "
1 The LORD H3068 EDS showed H7200 me , and , behold H2009 IJEC , two H8147 ONUM baskets H1736 of figs H8384 were set H3259 before H6440 L-CMP the temple H1964 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , after that H310 PREP Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS had carried away captive H1540 Jeconiah H3204 the son H1121 CMS of Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 , and the princes H8269 CMP of Judah H3063 , with H854 W-PART the carpenters H2796 and smiths H4525 , from Jerusalem H3389 , and had brought H935 them to Babylon H894 .
2 One H259 MMS basket H1731 had very H3966 ADV good H2896 figs H8384 , even like the figs H8384 that are first ripe H1073 : and the other H259 MMS basket H1731 had very H3966 ADV naughty H7451 figs H8384 , which H834 RPRO could not H3808 NADV be eaten H398 , they were so bad H7455 .
3 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS the LORD H3068 EDS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , What H4100 IGAT seest H7200 VQPMS thou H859 PPRO-2MS , Jeremiah H3414 ? And I said H559 W-VQY3MS , Figs H8384 ; the good H2896 figs H8384 , very H3966 ADV good H2896 ; and the evil H7451 , very H3966 ADV evil H7451 , that H834 RPRO cannot H3808 NADV be eaten H398 , they are so evil H7455 .
4 Again the word H1697 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS came H1961 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
5 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 ; Like these H428 D-DPRO-3MP good H2896 figs H8384 , so H3651 ADV will I acknowledge H5234 VHY1MS them that are carried away captive H1546 of Judah H3063 , whom H834 RPRO I have sent H7971 out of H4480 PREP this H2088 D-PMS place H4725 D-NMS into the land H776 GFS of the Chaldeans H3778 TMP for their good H2896 .
6 For I will set H7760 W-VQQ1MS mine eyes H5869 CMS-1MS upon H5921 PREP them for good H2896 , and I will bring them again H7725 to H5921 PREP this H2063 D-DFS land H776 D-GFS : and I will build H1129 them , and not H3808 W-NPAR pull them down H2040 ; and I will plant H5193 them , and not H3808 W-NPAR pluck them up H5428 .
7 And I will give H5414 them a heart H3820 NMS to know H3045 L-VQFC me , that H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 EDS : and they shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS my people H5971 , and I H595 W-PPRO-1MS will be H1961 VQY1MS their God H430 : for H3588 CONJ they shall return H7725 unto H413 PREP-1MS me with their whole H3605 B-CMS heart H3820 NMS .
8 And as the evil H7451 figs H8384 , which H834 RPRO cannot H3808 NADV be eaten H398 , they are so evil H7455 ; surely H3588 CONJ thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , So H3651 ADV will I give H5414 VQY1MS Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 , and his princes H8269 CMP-3MS , and the residue H7611 of Jerusalem H3389 , that remain H7604 in this H2063 D-DFS land H776 B-NFS , and them that dwell H3427 in the land H776 B-GFS of Egypt H4714 :
9 And I will deliver H5414 them to be removed H2189 into all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776 D-GFS for their hurt H7451 , to be a reproach H2781 and a proverb H4912 , a taunt H8148 and a curse H7045 , in all H3605 B-CMS places H4725 whither H834 RPRO I shall drive H5080 them .
10 And I will send H7971 the sword H2719 D-GFS , the famine H7458 D-NMS , and the pestilence H1698 , among them , till H5704 PREP they be consumed H8552 from off H5921 M-PREP the land H127 D-NFS that H834 RPRO I gave H5414 VQQ1MS unto them and to their fathers H1 .
