Jeremiah 24:3
New International Version
3 Then the Lord asked me, “What do you see,(A) Jeremiah?”
“Figs,” I answered. “The good ones are very good, but the bad ones are so bad they cannot be eaten.”
Jeremiah 24:8-10
New King James Version
8 ‘And as the bad (A)figs which cannot be eaten, they are so bad’—surely thus says the Lord—‘so will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, his princes, the (B)residue of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and (C)those who dwell in the land of Egypt. 9 I will deliver them to (D)trouble into all the kingdoms of the earth, for their harm, (E)to be a reproach and a byword, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them. 10 And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, till they are [a]consumed from the land that I gave to them and their fathers.’ ”
