Jérémie 24:8

Et comme ces figues sont si mauvaises qu'on n'en peut manger, tant elles sont mauvaises; ainsi certainement, a dit l'Eternel, je rendrai tel Sédécias le Roi de Juda, et les principaux de sa Cour, et le reste de Jérusalem qui sont demeurés dans ce pays, et ceux qui s'habitueront au pays d'Egypte.

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Et comme ces mauvaises figues, qu'on ne peut manger, tant elles sont mauvaises, a dit l'Éternel, tels je rendrai Sédécias, roi de Juda, et ses princes, et le reste de Jérusalem, ceux qui sont restés dans ce pays, et ceux qui habitent dans le pays d'Égypte.
Darby's French Translation
Et comme les figues mauvaises qu'on ne peut manger, tant elles sont mauvaises,... oui, ainsi dit l'Éternel, tels je rendrai Sédécias, le roi de Juda, et ses princes, et le reste de Jérusalem, qui sont de reste dans ce pays, et ceux qui habitent dans le pays d'Égypte;
Louis Segond (1910)
Et comme les mauvaises figues qui ne peuvent être mangées à cause de leur mauvaise qualité, dit l'Eternel, ainsi ferai-je devenir Sédécias, roi de Juda, ses chefs, et le reste de Jérusalem, ceux qui sont restés dans ce pays et ceux qui habitent dans le pays d'Egypte.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil,.... Here follows an explication of the evil figs, and an application of them to the wicked Jews:

surely thus saith the Lord, so will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah; who was then the reigning king of Judah, Jeconiah's father's brother; whom the king of Babylon had made king in his stead, and changed his name from Mattaniah to Zedekiah, 2 Kings 24:17; him the Lord threatens to give up to ruin and destruction, or to deliver into the hands of the enemy:

and his princes, and the residue of them, that remain in this land; the rest of the inhabitants of Jerusalem that continued in the land of Judea, and were not carried captive:

and them that dwell in the land of Egypt; who had fled thither for safety upon the invasion of their land, and besieging their city; all these being like to the bad figs, exceeding evil and wicked, are threatened to be delivered into the hands of their enemies, though they might think themselves safe and secure where they were.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The complete fulfillment of this prophecy belongs to the Christian Church. There is a close analogy between Jeremiah at the first destruction of Jerusalem and our Lord at the second. There the good figs were those converts picked out by the preaching of Christ and the Apostles; the bad figs were the mass of the people left for Titus and the Romans to destroy.

Jeremiah 24:5

Acknowledge ... for their good - Specially their spiritual good. Put a comma after Chaldaeans.

Jeremiah 24:8

That dwell in the land of Egypt - Neither those carried captive with Jehoahaz into Egypt, nor those who fled there, are to share in these blessings. The new life of the Jewish nation is to be the work only of the exiles in Babylon.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 24:8. So will I give Zedekiah — I will treat these as they deserve. They shall be carried into captivity, and scattered through all nations. Multitudes of those never returned to Judea; the others returned at the end of seventy years.
