Jeremiah 24

The Message Bible MSG

1 God showed me two baskets of figs placed in front of the Temple of God. This was after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem into exile in Babylon, along with the leaders of Judah, the craftsmen, and the skilled laborers.

2 In one basket the figs were of the finest quality, ripe and ready to eat. In the other basket the figs were rotten, so rotten they couldn't be eaten.

3 God said to me, "Jeremiah, what do you see?" "Figs," I said. "Excellent figs of the finest quality, and also rotten figs, so rotten they can't be eaten."

4 Then God told me,

5 "This is the Message from the God of Israel: The exiles from here that I've sent off to the land of the Babylonians are like the good figs, and I'll make sure they get good treatment.

6 I'll keep my eye on them so that their lives are good, and I'll bring them back to this land. I'll build them up, not tear them down; I'll plant them, not uproot them.

7 "And I'll give them a heart to know me, God. They'll be my people and I'll be their God, for they'll have returned to me with all their hearts.

8 "But like the rotten figs, so rotten they can't be eaten, is Zedekiah king of Judah. Rotten figs - that's how I'll treat him and his leaders, along with the survivors here and those down in Egypt.

9 I'll make them something that the whole world will look on as disgusting - repugnant outcasts, their names used as curse words wherever in the world I drive them.

10 And I'll make sure they die like flies - from war, starvation, disease, whatever - until the land I once gave to them and their ancestors is completely rid of them."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 ostendit mihi Dominus et ecce duo calathi pleni ficis positi ante templum Domini postquam transtulit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis Iechoniam filium Ioachim regem Iuda et principes eius et fabrum et inclusorem de Hierusalem et adduxit eos in Babylonem

2 calathus unus ficus bonas habebat nimis ut solent ficus esse primi temporis et calathus unus ficus habebat malas nimis quae comedi non poterant eo quod essent malae

3 et dixit Dominus ad me quid tu vides Hieremia et dixi ficus ficus bonas bonas valde et malas malas valde quae comedi non possunt eo quod sint malae

4 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens

5 haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel sicut ficus hae bonae sic cognoscam transmigrationem Iuda quam emisi de loco isto in terram Chaldeorum in bonum

6 et ponam oculos meos super eos ad placandum et reducam eos in terram hanc et aedificabo eos et non destruam et plantabo eos et non evellam

7 et dabo eis cor ut sciant me quia ego sum Dominus et erunt mihi in populum et ego ero eis in Deum quia revertentur ad me in toto corde suo

8 et sicut ficus pessimae quae comedi non possunt eo quod sint malae haec dicit Dominus sic dabo Sedeciam regem Iuda et principes eius et reliquos de Hierusalem qui remanserunt in urbe hac et qui habitant in terra Aegypti

9 et dabo eos in vexationem adflictionemque omnibus regnis terrae in obprobrium et in parabolam et in proverbium et in maledictionem in universis locis ad quos eieci eos

10 et mittam in eis gladium et famem et pestem donec consumantur de terra quam dedi eis et patribus eorum
