Jeremiah 24:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ The rotten figs stand for King Zedekiah^[a] of Judah, his officials, and all the others who were not taken away to Babylonia, whether they stayed here in Judah or went to live in Egypt. ⁹ I will punish them with a terrible disaster, and everyone on earth will tremble when they hear about it. I will force the people of Judah to go to foreign countries, where they will be cursed and insulted. ¹⁰ War and hunger and disease will strike them, until they finally disappear from the land that I gave them and their ancestors.
