The LORD showed me a vision: I saw two baskets of figs placed in front of the LORD's temple. This happened after King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had taken King Jeconiah (son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah) as a prisoner, along with the princes of Judah and the skilled workers like carpenters and metalworkers from Jerusalem, and brought them all to Babylon.

I was in Joppa, just praying, when I went into this trance and saw the wildest vision. This huge sheet-like thing came down from heaven, held up by its four corners, and it came straight toward me.

Deuteronomy 28:17

Your basket and your storehouse will be cursed.
