Jeremiah 24:1-7

1YhwhH3068 shewedH7200 me, and, behold, twoH8147 basketsH1736 of figsH8384 were setH3259 beforeH6440 the templeH1964 of YhwhH3068, afterH310 that NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had carried away captiveH1540 JeconiahH3204 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, with the carpentersH2796 and smithsH4525, from JerusalemH3389, and had broughtH935 them to BabylonH894. 2OneH259 basketH1731 had veryH3966 goodH2896 figsH8384, even like the figsH8384 that are first ripeH1073: and the otherH259 basketH1731 had veryH3966 naughtyH7451 figsH8384, which could not be eatenH398, they were so badH7455.1 3Then saidH559 YhwhH3068 unto me, What seestH7200 thou, JeremiahH3414? And I saidH559, FigsH8384; the goodH2896 figsH8384, veryH3966 goodH2896; and the evilH7451, veryH3966 evilH7451, that cannot be eatenH398, they are so evilH7455.

4Again the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 came unto me, sayingH559, 5Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Like these goodH2896 figsH8384, so will I acknowledgeH5234 them that are carried away captiveH1546 of JudahH3063, whom I have sentH7971 out of this placeH4725 into the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 for their goodH2896.2 6For I will setH7760 mine eyesH5869 upon them for goodH2896, and I will bring them againH7725 to this landH776: and I will buildH1129 them, and not pull them downH2040; and I will plantH5193 them, and not pluck them upH5428. 7And I will giveH5414 them an heartH3820 to knowH3045 me, that I am YhwhH3068: and they shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430: for they shall returnH7725 unto me with their whole heartH3820.
