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 {H559} the LORD {H3068} unto me, What seest {H7200} thou, Jeremiah {H3414}? And I said {H559}, Figs {H8384}; the good {H2896} figs {H8384}, very {H3966} good {H2896}; and the evil {H7451}, very {H3966} evil {H7451}, that cannot be eaten {H398}, they are so evil {H7455}.

Then ADONAI asked me, "Yirmeyahu, what do you see?" I answered, "Figs - the good figs are very good; but the bad ones are very bad, so bad they are inedible."

“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.”

Then said Jehovah unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.
