Jeremiah 24

Gen Z: Jeremiah 24

1The Lord showed me, and I was like, two baskets of figs just chillin' in front of the temple, right after Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, took Jeconiah and the crew from Judah, and dragged them to Babylon.

2One basket had some hella good figs, like the first ripe ones, and the other basket had some sus figs that were straight up inedible, just bad vibes.

3Then the Lord asked me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" I said, "Figs; the good ones are fire, but the bad ones are trash, can’t even eat those."

4Again, the word of the Lord dropped in on me, saying,

5So the Lord, the God of Israel, said, "Just like these good figs, I’m gonna vibe with those who got taken from Judah, whom I sent to the Chaldeans for their glow-up."

6For I’m gonna keep my eyes on them for good, bring them back to this land: I’ll build them up, not tear them down; I’ll plant them, not uproot them, periodt.

7I’ll give them a heart to know me, that I’m the Lord: they’ll be my people, and I’ll be their God, ‘cause they’ll come back to me with their whole heart, no cap.

8And as for the bad figs, which are just evil; for real, the Lord said, "I’m gonna give Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his crew, and the leftovers in Jerusalem, and those in Egypt, the same energy."

9I’m gonna send them off to all the kingdoms of the earth for their downfall, to be a total joke and a curse wherever I send them, fr.

10And I’ll unleash the sword, famine, and pestilence on them, until they’re wiped off the land I gave them and their ancestors, savage.

KJV: Jeremiah 24

1The Lord shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the Lord, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

2One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

3Then said the Lord unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

4Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

5Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.

6For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

7And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

8And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the Lord, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:

9And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.

10And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.
