1When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance and have taken possession of it and live in it, 2 ayou shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you harvest from your land that the Lord your God is giving you, and you shall put it in a basket, and you shall bgo to the place that the Lord your God will choose, to make his name to dwell there. 3And you shall go to the priest who is in office at that time and say to him, ‘I declare today to the Lord your God that I have come into the land cthat the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.’ 4Then the priest shall take the basket from your hand and set it down before the altar of the Lord your God.

which is on the head of the rich valley,
will be like ja first-ripe fig before the summer:
when someone sees it, he swallows it
as soon as it is in his hand.

1 kAfter Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken into exile from Jerusalem lJeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, together with mthe officials of Judah, the craftsmen, and the metal workers, and had brought them to Babylon, the Lord showed me this vision: behold, ntwo baskets of figs placed before the temple of the Lord. 2One basket had very good figs, olike first-ripe figs, but the other basket had pvery bad figs, so bad that they could not be eaten. 3And the Lord said to me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I said, “Figs, the good figs very good, and the bad figs very bad, so bad that they cannot be eaten.”

Wait for the God of Salvation

1 Woe is me! For I have become
sas when the summer fruit has been gathered,
as when the grapes have been gleaned:
there is no cluster to eat,
no tfirst-ripe fig that my soul desires.
