JEREMIAH 24:1-3 THE LORD SHOWED ME, AND, BEHOLD, TWO BASKETS OF FIGS WERE SET BEFORE THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD, AFTER THAT NEBUCHADREZZAR KIND 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. 2 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. 3 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.---VS-----JEREMIAH 51:44 AND THE LORD GOD WILL PUNISH BEL IN BABYLON, AND THE LORD GOD WILL BRING FORTH OUT OF HIS MOUTH THAT WHICH HE HATH SWALLOWED UP: AND THE NATIONS SHALL NOT FLOW TOGETHER ANY MORE UNTO BABYLON: YEA, THE WALL OF BABYLON SHALL FALL. ----VS----FIGS THAT CANNOT BE EATEN---EXAMPLE-JEREMIAH 29:16-17 KNOW THAT THUS SAITH THE LORD OF THE king THAT SITTETH UPON THE THRONE OF DAVID, AND OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT DWELLETH IN THIS CITY, AND OF YOUR BRETHERN THAT ARE NOT GONE FORTH WITH YOU INTO CAPTIVITY; 17 THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS; BEHOLD, THE LORD GOD WILL SEND UPON THEM THE SWORD, THE FAMINE, AND THE PESTILENCE, AND WILL MAKE THEM LIKE VILE FIGS, THAT CANNOT BE EATEN, THEY ARE SO EVIL.
