The Lord said to me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I answered, “I see figs. The good figs are very good, and the rotten figs are very rotten. They are too rotten to eat.”
The Lord, the God of Israel, said, “The people of Judah were taken from their country. Their enemy brought them to Babylon. Those people will be like these good figs. I will be kind to them.
