24:023:034 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that
shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man
and his house.
24:023:035 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to
his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the
LORD spoken?
24:023:036 And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every
man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the
words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
24:023:037 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD
answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
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.
