00:00.000 --> 00:01.400
Chapter 24.

00:02.520 --> 00:06.200
The Lord showed me, and behold,
two baskets of figs were set before the

00:06.200 --> 00:09.940
temple of the Lord, after that
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried

00:09.940 --> 00:14.840
away captive Jeconiah, the son of
Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes

00:14.840 --> 00:19.140
of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths
from Jerusalem, and had brought them to

00:19.140 --> 00:19.440
Babylon.

00:20.280 --> 00:23.740
One basket had very good figs,
even like the figs that are first ripe,

00:24.160 --> 00:27.240
and the other basket had very naughty
figs, which could not be eaten,

00:27.240 --> 00:28.300
they were so bad.

00:29.260 --> 00:32.180
Then said the Lord unto me, What seest
thou, Jeremiah?

00:32.480 --> 00:36.840
And I said, Figs, the good figs,
very good, and the evil, very evil,

00:37.100 --> 00:39.240
that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

00:40.120 --> 00:44.380
Again the word of the Lord came unto me,
saying, Thus saith the Lord, the God of

00:44.380 --> 00:48.620
Israel, Like these good figs, so will I
acknowledge them that are carried away

00:48.620 --> 00:52.680
captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of
this place into the land of the Chaldeans

00:52.680 --> 00:53.280
for their good.

00:54.140 --> 00:58.420
For I will set mine eyes upon them for
good, and I will bring them again to this

00:58.420 --> 01:03.160
land, and I will build them, and not pull
them down, and I will plant them and not

01:03.160 --> 01:03.880
pluck them up.

01:04.660 --> 01:08.700
And I will give them an heart to know me,
that I am the Lord, and they shall be my

01:08.700 --> 01:13.000
people, and I will be their God,
for they shall return unto me with their

01:13.000 --> 01:13.640
whole heart.

01:14.420 --> 01:17.500
And as the evil figs which cannot be
eaten, they are so evil.

01:18.140 --> 01:23.040
Surely thus saith the Lord, So will I give
Zedekiah the king of Judah and his

01:23.040 --> 01:27.360
princes, and the residue of Jerusalem that
remain in this land, and them that dwell

01:27.360 --> 01:28.280
in the land of Egypt.

01:28.800 --> 01:32.140
And I will deliver them to be removed into
all the kingdoms of the earth,

01:32.260 --> 01:37.520
for their hurt to be a reproach and a
proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all

01:37.520 --> 01:39.060
places whither I shall drive them.

01:39.760 --> 01:42.840
And I will send the sword, the famine,
and the pestilence among them,

01:43.180 --> 01:46.660
till they be consumed from off the land
that I gave unto them and to their fathers.
