Jeremiah

Jeremiah 24:2–3

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“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.”
