The verse 8 is found in chapter 24 of Jeremiah. The two baskets of figs appear after Judah’s initial exile and serve as a sign concerning the deportees and those who remained in Jerusalem. The good figs represent those who will be restored and receive a heart to know God. The bad figs symbolize those who remain under judgment because of their persistence in rebellion.

Aber wie die schlechten Feigen so schlecht sind, daß man sie nicht essen kann, spricht der HERR, also will ich dahingeben Zedekia, den König Juda's samt seinen Fürsten, und was übrig ist zu Jerusalem und übrig in diesem Lande und die in Ägyptenland wohnen.
Y como los malos higos, que de malos no se pueden comer, así, ha dicho Jehová, daré a Sedechîas rey de Judá, y a sus príncipes, y al resto de Jerusalem que quedaron en esta tierra, y que moran en la tierra de Egipto.
Pero como a los higos malos, tan malos que no se pueden comer —así dice Jehová—, así trataré a Sedequías, rey de Judá, a sus jefes y al resto de Jerusalén que queda en esta tierra, y a los que habitan en la tierra de Egipto.
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.
E come quegli altri fichi sono tanto cattivi, che non se ne può mangiare, per la loro cattività, così altresì ha detto il Signore: Tale renderò Sedechia, re di Giuda, e i suoi principi, e il rimanente di que’ di Gerusalemme, che saranno restati in questo paese, o che si saranno ridotti ad abitare nel paese di Egitto;
E como os figos ruins, que se não podem comer, de ruins que são (porque assim diz o SENHOR), assim entregarei Zedequias, rei de Judá, e os seus príncipes, e o restante de Jerusalém, que ficou nesta terra, e os que habitam na terra do Egito.
