Gen Z: Jeremiah 24
1The Lord showed me, and I was like, two baskets of figs just chillin' in front of the temple, right after Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, took Jeconiah and the crew from Judah, and dragged them to Babylon.
2One basket had some hella good figs, like the first ripe ones, and the other basket had some sus figs that were straight up inedible, just bad vibes.
3Then the Lord asked me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" I said, "Figs; the good ones are fire, but the bad ones are trash, can’t even eat those."
4Again, the word of the Lord dropped in on me, saying,
5So the Lord, the God of Israel, said, "Just like these good figs, I’m gonna vibe with those who got taken from Judah, whom I sent to the Chaldeans for their glow-up."
6For I’m gonna keep my eyes on them for good, bring them back to this land: I’ll build them up, not tear them down; I’ll plant them, not uproot them, periodt.
7I’ll give them a heart to know me, that I’m the Lord: they’ll be my people, and I’ll be their God, ‘cause they’ll come back to me with their whole heart, no cap.
8And as for the bad figs, which are just evil; for real, the Lord said, "I’m gonna give Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his crew, and the leftovers in Jerusalem, and those in Egypt, the same energy."
9I’m gonna send them off to all the kingdoms of the earth for their downfall, to be a total joke and a curse wherever I send them, fr.
10And I’ll unleash the sword, famine, and pestilence on them, until they’re wiped off the land I gave them and their ancestors, savage.
