Jeremiah 24:3
Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil. Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
The two baskets show the people dwelling in Jerusalem divided into two distinct classes. The difference between the very good figs and the very evil figs marks out those who have devoted themselves to unrighteousness. They are persons determined to continue in wrongdoing, whose hearts have become estranged from God.
