1 Vnder the Type of good and bad figs, 4 he
foresheweth the restauration of them that
were in captiuitie, 8 and the desolation of
Zedekiah and the rest.
1
The Lord shewed mee,
and behold, two baskets
of figges were set before
the temple of the Lord,
after that Nebuchad-rezzar note
king of Babylon had caried away
captiue Ieconiah the sonne of Iehoiakim
king of Iudah, and the princes of
Iudah, with the carpenters and smiths
from Ierusalem, and had brought
them to Babylon.
2
One basket had very good figges,
euen like the figges that are first ripe:
and the other basket had very naughty
figges, which could not be eaten, note they
were so bad.
3
Then said the Lord vnto me;
What seest thou Ieremiah? and I said:

will be their God: for they shall returne
vnto me with their whole heart.
8
¶ And as the euill note figges which
cannot be eaten, they are so euill; (Surely
thus saith the Lord) so will I
giue Zedekiah the king of Iudah, and
his princes, and the residue of Ierusalem,
that remaine in this land, and
them that dwell in the land of Egypt.
9
And I will deliuer them note to note be
remoued into all the kingdomes of the
earth for their hurt, to be a reproch and a

prouerbe, a taunt and a curse in all places
whither I shall driue 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 gaue vnto them, and to their fathers.
