Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
Vile figs - Hebrew [sho`ar], 'horrible,' or nauseous, from a root [shaa`ar] to regard with loathing (see Jeremiah 24:8; Jeremiah 24:10).
