Jeremiah 24:3 in Context — Jeremiah 24
1 L’Éternel me fit voir deux paniers de figues posés devant le temple de l’Éternel, après que Nebucadnetsar, roi de Babylone, eut emmené de Jérusalem et conduit à Babylone Jeconia, fils de Jojakim, roi de Juda, les chefs de Juda, les charpentiers et les serruriers.
2 L’un des paniers contenait de très bonnes figues, comme les figues de la première récolte, et l’autre panier de très mauvaises figues, qu’on ne pouvait manger à cause de leur mauvaise qualité.
3 L’Éternel me dit: Que vois-tu, Jérémie? Je répondis: Des figues. Les bonnes figues sont très bonnes, et les mauvaises sont très mauvaises et ne peuvent être mangées à cause de leur mauvaise qualité.
4 La parole de l’Éternel me fut adressée, en ces mots:
5 Ainsi parle l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël: Comme tu distingues ces bonnes figues, ainsi je distinguerai, pour leur être favorable, les captifs de Juda, que j’ai envoyés de ce lieu dans le pays des Chaldéens.
