Jeremiah 24:2-7

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.
