“Then said the Lord unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.”
God's question to Jeremiah about what he sees invites the prophet's interpretation but also suggests that the meaning should be evident. The process of asking the prophet to observe and interpret involves him in understanding God's purpose. The question engages the prophet's discernment and prepares him to understand the explanation. The vision's clarity allows for interpretation without explicit instruction.
