The passage recounts a prophetic vision in which Jeremiah sees two baskets of figs placed before the Jerusalem Temple\u2014one containing excellent early figs, the other containing figs so rotten they cannot be eaten. God interprets the vision as an allegory of two groups among the Judeans: the exiles carried to Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar (the good figs) will be restored to their land, given a new heart to know God, and renewed in covenant relationship, while King Zedekiah, his officials, and those remaining in Jerusalem or fleeing to Egypt (the bad figs) will be scattered, cursed, and destroyed by sword, famine, and plague. The text's most distinctive theological claim is its inversion of intuitive expectations\u2014those already suffering exile are declared the favored remnant, while those who appear to have escaped judgment are condemned. The four-column layout invites comparative textual study, with notable differences between versions: for instance, the Septuagint's verse 1 includes \"the wealthy\" (\u03c4\u03bf\u1f7a\u03c2 \u03c0\u03bb\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03af\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2) among the deportees, a detail absent from the Hebrew and KJV.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Jeremiah: Jeremiah 24","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":1129}
