Naughty figs

(Jeremiah 24:2). "The bad figs may have been such either from having decayed, and thus been reduced to a rotten condition, or as being the fruit of the sycamore, which contains a bitter juice" (Tristram, Nat. Hist.). The inferiority of the fruit is here referred to as an emblem of the rejected Zedekiah and his people.

1. (superl.) Having little or nothing.

2. (superl.) Worthless; bad; good for nothing.

3. (superl.) hence, corrupt; wicked.

NAUGHT; NAUGHTY; NAUGHTINESS

not, no'-ti, nes: In the sense of bad, worthless, worthlessness, the words in the King James Version represent the Hebrew ra`, changed in the Revised Version (British and American) to "bad" (2 Kings 2:19 Proverbs 20:14 Jeremiah 24:2), roa`, retained in the Revised Version (British and American) "naughtiness" (1 Samuel 17:28), hawwah, rendered in the Revised Version (British and American) in Proverbs 11:6 "iniquity," and in 17:4 "mischievous." In Proverbs 6:12, "naughty person," literally, "man of Belial," is in the Revised Version (British and American) "worthless person." In the New Testament, "superfluity of naughtiness" in James 1:21 (for kakia) becomes margin the Revised Version (British and American) overflowing of wickedness," margin "malice," and in The Wisdom of Solomon 12:10, the King James Version's "naughty generation" (poneros) is made into "by birth.... evil."
