Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the (h) sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile (i) figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.
(h) By which he assures them that there will be no hope of returning before the appointed time.
(i) According to the comparison, (Jeremiah 24:1-2).
