Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Thus saieth the Lorde the God of Israell: lyke as thou knowest the good figges, so shall I knowe the men led awaye, whom I haue sent out of this place into the lande of the Caldees, for theyr profyte: ⁶ and I will set myne eyes vpon them for the best, for I wyll brynge them agayne into this lande: I wyll buylde them vp, and not breake them downe: I will plante them, and not rote them out. ⁷ And I wyll geue them an herte, to knowe how that I am the Lorde. They shalbe my people, & I will be their God, for they shall returne vnto me with their whole herte. ⁸ And lyke as thou knowest the naughtie figges, which maye not be eaten, they are so euell: Euen so wyll I (sayeth the Lorde) let Zedekias the Kynge of Iuda, (ye and all his princes, & the residue of Ierusalem that remayne ouer in thys lande, and them also that dwell in Egipte) to be vexed and plaged in all kyngdomes and landes. ⁹ And wyll make them to be a reprofe, a comen by worde, a laughynge stocke and shame, in all the places, where I shall scatre them. ¹⁰ I wil sende the swearde, honger & pestilence amonge them, vntyll I haue cleane consumed them out of the lande, that I gaue vnto them and theyr fathers.
