had
very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
3
Then said the
L
ORD
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.
4
Again the word of the L
ORD
came unto me, saying,
5
Thus saith the L
ORD
, 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.
6
For 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.
7
And I will give them an heart to know
me, that I
am
the L
ORD
: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return
unto me with their whole heart.
8
And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the L
ORD
, 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:
9
And 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.
10
And 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.
CHAPTER 25
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim
the son of Josiah king of Judah, that
was
the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;
2
The
which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
saying,
3
From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that
is
the three and twentieth year, the word of the L
ORD
hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto
you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.
4
And the L
ORD
hath sent unto you all
his servants the prophets, rising early and sending
them;
but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined
your ear to hear.
5
They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of
your doings, and dwell in the land that the L
ORD
hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever
and ever:
6
And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not
to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.
7
Yet ye have not hearkened unto
me, saith the L
ORD
; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own
hurt.
8
Therefore thus saith the L
ORD
of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,
9
Behold, I will
send and take all the families of the north, saith the L
ORD
, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon,
my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against
all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and

10
Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and
