Jeremiah 24:9
And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.

Study Note
The two baskets of figs vision (Jeremiah 24) provides a theological evaluation of the different Judean groups following the 597 BCE deportation: the good figs (the exiles) represent those toward whom YHWH's future purpose is directed; the bad figs (those remaining) face further judgment. The punishment catalog — removal, reproach, proverb (mashal), taunt, and curse in all nations — reflects the deuteronomic curse-formulae of Deuteronomy 28:25, 37, grounding the oracle in the covenant's own threatened consequences. The reversal of expected theology here is significant: exile was normally interpreted as punishment while remaining in the land signified blessing; Jeremiah inverts this, making the exiles the chosen instrument of future restoration. This theological move prepared the exile community for the constructive theology of Jeremiah 29 and Second Isaiah.
