    What happens here

    Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

    The LORD turns two baskets of figs into a verdict: the exiles are precious fruit, while those left behind are so bad that even the basket seems to have lost hope.

    A very literal questionvv. 1–3

    Nebuchadnezzar has carried Jeconiah, the officials, and the skilled workers away from Jerusalem to Babylon when the LORD shows Jeremiah two baskets beside the temple. One is filled with excellent early figs; the other contains fruit beyond eating. Asked what he sees, Jeremiah answers with admirable economy, then supplies the entire fig assessment as well.

    The basket becomes a judgmentvv. 4–10

    The good figs stand for the exiles from Judah, whom the LORD says he has sent to the land of the Chaldeans. He promises to watch over them, bring them back, build and plant them, and give them a heart to know him. The bad figs stand for Zedekiah, his officials, and those remaining in Jerusalem or living in Egypt; upon them come horror, disgrace, sword, famine, and plague, until they perish from the land.

    1. Jer 24:1After Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, as well as the officials of Judah and the craftsmen and metalsmiths from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon, the LORD showed me two baskets of figs placed in front of the temple of the LORD.

    2. Jer 24:2One basket had very good figs, like those that ripen early, but the other basket contained very poor figs, so bad they could not be eaten.

    3. Jer 24:3“Jeremiah,” the LORD asked, “what do you see?” “Figs!” I replied. “The good figs are very good, but the bad figs are very bad, so bad they cannot be eaten.”

    4. Jer 24:4Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

    5. Jer 24:5“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Like these good figs, so I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans.

    6. Jer 24:6I will keep My eyes on them for good and will return them to this land. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not uproot them.

    7. Jer 24:7I 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 all their heart.

    8. Jer 24:8But like the bad figs, so bad they cannot be eaten,’ says the LORD, ‘so will I deal with Zedekiah king of Judah, his officials, and the remnant of Jerusalem—those remaining in this land and those living in the land of Egypt.

    9. Jer 24:9I will make them a horror and an offense to all the kingdoms of the earth, a disgrace and an object of scorn, ridicule, and cursing wherever I have banished them.

    10. Jer 24:10And I will send against them sword and famine and plague, until they have perished from the land that I gave to them and their fathers.’”

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.

    Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
