The LORD showed me, and, behold, two (a) baskets of figs [were] set before the temple of the LORD, 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.
(a) The good figs signified them that were gone into captivity and so saved their life, as in (Jeremiah 21:8), and the bad figs them that remained, who were yet subject to the sword, famine and pestilence.
