JEREMIAH CHAPTER 24

• Jeremiah 24:1 YHWH hath shewed me, and lo, two baskets of figs, appointed before the temple of YHWH, -- after the removing by Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, of Jeconiah, son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the heads of Judah, and the artizan, and the smith, from Jerusalem, when he bringeth them into Babylon --
• 24:2 In the one basket [are] figs very good, like the first-ripe figs, and in the other basket [are] figs very bad, that are not eaten for badness.
• 24:3 And YHWH saith unto me, 'What art thou seeing, Jeremiah?' and I say, 'Figs, the good figs [are] very good, and the bad [are] very bad, that are not eaten for badness.'
• 24:4 And there is a word of YHWH unto me, saying:
• 24:5 Thus said YHWH, God of Israel, Like these good figs so do I acknowledge The removed of Judah -- that I sent from this place, [To] the land of the Chaldeans -- for good.
• 24:6 And I have set Mine eyes on them for good, And have brought them back to this land, And built them up, and I throw not down, And have planted them, and pluck not up.
• 24:7 And have given to them a heart to know Me, For I [am] YHWH, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for God, For they turned back unto Me with all their heart.
• 24:8 And like the bad figs, that are not eaten for badness, Surely thus said YHWH: So do I make Zedekiah king of Judah, And his heads, and the remnant of Jerusalem, Who are left in this land, And who are dwelling in the land of Egypt,
• 24:9 And I have given them for a trembling, For evil -- to all kingdoms of the earth, For a reproach, and for a simile, For a byword, and for a reviling, In all the places whither I drive them.
• Jeremiah 24:10 And I have sent against them the sword, The famine and the pestilence, Till their consumption from off the ground, That I gave to them and to their fathers!

• 25:36 A voice [is] of the cry of the shepherds, And a howling of the honourable of the flock, For YHWH is spoiling their pasture.
• 25:37 And the peaceable habitations have been cut down, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH.
• 25:38 He hath forsaken, as a young lion, His covert, Surely their land hath become a desolation, Because of the oppressing fierceness, And because of the fierceness of His anger!

• 26:5 To hearken to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I am sending unto you, yea, rising early and sending, and ye have not hearkened,
• 26:6 Then I have given up this house as Shiloh, and this city I give up for a reviling to all nations of the earth.'
• 26:7 And the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, hear Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of YHWH,
• 26:8 And it cometh to pass, at the completion of Jeremiah's speaking all that YHWH hath commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests, and the prophets, and all the people catch him, saying, Thou dost surely die,
• 26:9 Wherefore hast thou prophesied in the name of YHWH, saying, 'As Shiloh this house shall be, and this city is wasted, without inhabitant?' and all the people are assembled unto Jeremiah in the house of YHWH.
• Jeremiah 26:10 And the heads of Judah hear these things, and they go up from the house of the king [to] the house of YHWH, and sit in the opening of the new gate of YHWH.

• 27:7 And served him have all the nations, and his son, and his son's son, till the coming in of the time of his land, also it; and done service for him have many nations and great kings.
• 27:8 And it hath come to pass, the nation and the kingdom that do not serve him -- Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon -- and that which putteth not its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, I lay a charge on that nation -- an affirmation of YHWH -- till I consume them by his hand.
• 27:9 'And ye, ye do not hearken unto your prophets, and unto your diviners, and unto your dreamers, and unto your observers of clouds, and unto your sorcerers who are speaking unto you, saying, Ye do not serve the king of Babylon, --
• Jeremiah 27:10 For falsehood they are prophesying to you, so as to remove you far from off your ground, and I have driven you out, and ye have perished.
• 27:11 And the nation that causeth its neck to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and hath served him -- I have left it on its ground -- an affirmation of YHWH -- and it hath tilled it, and dwelt in it.'
• 27:12 And unto Zedekiah king of Judah I have spoken according to all these words, saying, 'Cause your necks to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

• 27:21 Surely thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left of the house of YHWH, and of the house of the king of Judah, and [in] Jerusalem:
• 27:22 To Babylon they are brought, and there they are till the day of My inspecting them -- an affirmation of YHWH; then I have brought them up, and have brought them back unto this place.'
