- After Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the officials of Judah with the craftsmen and smiths from Jerusalem and had brought them to Babylon, the LORD showed me: behold, two baskets of figs set before the temple of the LORD!
- One basket had very good figs, like first-ripe figs, and the other basket had very bad figs which could not be eaten due to rottenness.
- Then the LORD said to me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" And I said, "Figs, the good figs, very good; and the bad figs, very bad, which cannot be eaten due to rottenness."
- Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
- "Thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'Like these good figs, so I will regard as good the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans.

- 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒将犹大王约雅敬的儿子耶哥尼雅和犹大的首领,并工匠,铁匠从耶路撒冷掳去,带到巴比伦。这事以后,耶和华指给我看,有两筐无花果放在耶和华的殿前。
- 一筐是极好的无花果,好像是初熟的。一筐是极坏的无花果,坏得不可吃。
- 于是耶和华问我说,耶利米你看见什么。我说,我看见无花果,好的极好,坏的极坏,坏得不可吃。
- 耶和华的话临到我说,
- 耶和华以色列的神如此说,被掳去的犹大人,就是我打发离开这地到迦勒底人之地去的,我必看顾他们如这好无花果,使他们得好处。
