The two baskets of figs, good and bad, which Jeremiah sees

예레미야가 본 좋은 무화과와 악한 무화과 두 광주리

Jeremiah 24:1–10: the speaker (“I”) says, “The LORD showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs were set before the LORD’s temple, after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon. One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad. Then the LORD asked me, ‘What do you see, Jeremiah?’ I said, ‘Figs. The good figs are very good, and the bad are very bad, so bad that they can’t be eaten.’ The LORD’s word came to me, saying,” and the LORD says, “The LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘Like these good figs, so I will regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, as good. For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land. I will build them, and not pull them down. I will plant them, and not pluck them up. I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God; for they will return to me with their whole heart. As the bad figs, which can’t be eaten, they are so bad,’ surely the LORD says, ‘So I will give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt. I will even give them up to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I will drive them. I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, until they are consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.’” WEB reopens its quotation marks at 24:8; they are left out here. The Korean Revised Version tells first that Nebuchadnezzar carried them from Jerusalem to Babylon and then that the LORD showed the two baskets (24:1: … 바벨론으로 옮긴 후에 여호와께서 … 무화과 두 광주리로 내게 보이셨는데), and opens 24:8 with the LORD’s words 나 여호와가 이같이 말하노라, where WEB sets “surely the LORD says” after the first words of 24:8.
