耶利米书 24:4 CUVS

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 24:1-10

Good and bad figs (24:1-10)On the occasion of Babylon’s attack on Jerusalem in 597 BC, the king Jehoiachin (Jeconiah) was taken captive to Babylon, along with the best of Judah’s people. The people that Babylon did not want were left in Judah and placed under the control of Zedekiah, the new king appointed by Babylon (2 Kings 24:10-17). Jeremiah’s vision of two baskets of figs was concerned with these events (24:1-3).The people left behind in Jerusalem thought that they had God’s approval,... read more

THE PARABLE EXPLAINED"And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good. For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up. And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Jehovah: and they... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 24:1-10

The Two Baskets of FigsThe evil figs were such of the people as had not been carried away with Jehoiachin to Babylon after the first siege of Jerusalem, 597 b.c., but had failed to draw any warning from the fate that had overtaken their brethren. Those who had been made captives, on the other hand, should yet be the subjects of God’s love and grace. The ripening time for both baskets was over, but here the likeness between them ceased.1. Carpenters] RV ’craftsmen,’ the most valuable captives.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 24:4

(4) Again the word of the Lord came unto me.—The words seem to imply an interval, during which the prophet was left to ponder over the symbols that he had thus seen. At last “the word of the Lord came” and made their meaning clear. read more

CHAPTER 24 The Two Baskets of Figs 1. The vision of the two baskets of figs (Jeremiah 24:1-3 ) 2. The vision interpreted (Jeremiah 24:4-10 ) Jeremiah 24:1-3 . Jeconiah, with the choicest of the nation, had been carried away into captivity. A large portion remained, and were not taken away, and these attributed their escape from exile to some goodness in them. At that time the prophet had a vision. He saw set before the temple two baskets of figs. The one basket was filled with good figs,... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 24:1-10

MESSAGES IN ZEDEKIAH ’S REIGN These chapters furnish a convenient unit, as they are apparently a group of discourses delivered in Zedekiah’s reign the king of the captivity period. The first, and one of the most interesting, is that concerning the siege (chap. 21). Note the occasion (Jeremiah 21:1-2 ) and observe that Pashur was not he of the last lesson. The siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar had begun and the king of Judah hoped the prophet would have some encouraging word from God for... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 24:1-10

Figs Good and Bad Jeremiah 24:0 There was an immense advantage in living in Old Testament times. The evidence of that advantage is to be found on every page of the Old Testament itself. Men had a living Lord then. They spoke with him in a very reverent familiarity; although they named his name every day, never does the familiarity go below the point of reverence. You could not speak to an Old Testament man without hearing something about "The Lord"; for he said, with a child's frankness, The... read more

Here the Lord himself becomes the Preacher to the Prophet, and explains. The bad figs, represented Zedekiah and his court, still in the land, but against whom, the Lord would in his own appointed time bring the army from Babylon. And the good figs, referred to the Lord's faithful ones, now in captivity. Reader! it is blessed to mark the final issue of all things. Tell ye the righteous it shall be well with him. Say ye to the wicked it shall be ill with him. Isaiah 3:10-11 . But while this is... read more
