Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 24:1-10

Jeremiah 24:1-2 Samuel : . The Good and Bad Figs.— The prophet sees (either in vision or actuality; see on Jeremiah 1:11; Jeremiah 1:13; cf. Amos 7:1, etc.) baskets of good and bad figs respectively; Yahweh tells him that the former represent the first body of exiles under Jeconiah (Jehoiachin, 2 Kings 24:15 f.) who shall be restored, and the latter the people remaining under Zedekiah, together with those in Egypt. For Ezekiel’ s similar judgment of the Palestinian and Babylonian sections of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 24:10

Many of them shall not live to be carried into captivity, but shall die miserably in their own land, if not by the enemies’ sword, yet by the famine and the pestilence, which two things ordinarily attend long sieges. By one of these three sore judgments of God they shall be consumed out of the land, and shall not hold it by the title of God’s gift of it to their fathers. No gifts of God, except those of special grace, are perpetuities; but either given quamdiu bene se gesserint, so long as men... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 24:1-10

Jeremiah 24:2 . One basket had very good figs. This was emblematical of the better sort of people, who were carried away under Jeconiah, and sent to Babylon for their good. It is much the same with the fruits imported from the east. Being packed a little before they are quite ripe, they improve on the voyage. The second basket of figs were utterly corrupt, descriptive of the people under Zedekiah, who instead of profiting by the first disaster, offended so much the more, and were despised... read more
