24:1,2
All the skilled workers had been carried off into exile. Then God gave Jeremiah a vision, remember he had visions very early on in his ministry. Things are now entering a new phase. It was only the “dregs” of society who were left in Jerusalem, all the rulers and “elite” were in exile, or dead. The vision was of two baskets of figs. One basket was very good. The earliest gifs that ripened in June were the tastiest ones. The other basket had bad figs that were inedible.
