This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord. This was when Zedekiah, the king of Judah, sent a man named Pashhur and a priest named Zephaniah to Jeremiah. Pashhur {\cf2\super [167]} was the son of a man named Malkijah. Zephaniah was the son of a man named Maaseiah. Pashhur and Zephaniah brought a message for Jeremiah.
The Lord showed me these things: I saw two baskets of figs arranged in front of the temple {\cf2\super [196]} of the Lord. (I saw this vision after Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, took Jeconiah {\cf2\super [197]} as a prisoner. Jeconiah was the son of King Jehoiakim. Jeconiah and his important officials were taken away from Jerusalem. They were taken to Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar also took away all the carpenters and metal-workers of Judah.)
Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, was in prison in Babylon for 37 years. In the 37th year of his imprisonment, {\cf2\super [448]} Evil-Merodach, the king of Babylon, was very kind to Jehoiachin. He let Jehoiachin out of prison in that year. This was the same year that Evil-Merodach became king of Babylon. Evil-Merodach set Jehoiachin free from prison on the 25th day of the 12th month.
