Jer 24:8 | MHM | STEP | v. 8–10 : The bad figs represent King Zedekiah and those who stayed behind or ran away to Egypt. Even though they escaped the first wave of exile, they will face worse trouble. God says they will be scattered into all kingdoms, become a curse and a joke among nations, and suffer from sword, famine, and disease (Jeremiah 24:9–10 ). Their refusal to listen to God’s warnings will lead to shame and destruction, while those who submit to God’s discipline will be restored. This prophecy was partly fulfilled in Jeremiah’s day and also points forward to later times, showing that God always knows how to separate the faithful from the unfaithful.

‏ Jeremiah 24:8

v. 8–10: The bad figs represent King Zedekiah and those who stayed behind or ran away to Egypt. Even though they escaped the first wave of exile, they will face worse trouble. God says they will be scattered into all kingdoms, become a curse and a joke among nations, and suffer from sword, famine, and disease (Jeremiah 24:9–10 ^a). Their refusal to listen to God’s warnings will lead to shame and destruction, while those who submit to God’s discipline will be restored. This prophecy was partly fulfilled in Jeremiah’s day and also points forward to later times, showing that God always knows how to separate the faithful from the unfaithful.
