24:023:038 But since ye say, The burden of the lord; therefore thus saith
           the lord; Because ye say this word, The burden of the lord,
           and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden
           of the lord;

24:023:039 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I
           will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your
           fathers, and cast you out of my presence: 

24:023:040 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a
           perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

24:024:001 The lord shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set
           before the temple of the lord, after that Nebuchadrezzar king
           of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of
           Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the
           carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to
           Babylon.

24:024:002 One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are
           first ripe:  and the other basket had very naughty figs, which
           could not be eaten, they were so bad.

24:024:003 Then said the lord 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.

24:024:004 Again the word of the lord came unto me, saying,

24:024:005 Thus saith the lord, 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.

24:024:006 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.

24:024:007 And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the lord
           and they shall be my people, and I will be their God:  for they
           shall return unto me with their whole heart.

24:024:008 And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil;
           surely thus saith the lord, 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: 

24:024:009 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.

24:024:010 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.
