I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
I will surely consume - literally, gathering I will gather, or, consuming I will consume. I will surely consume - literally, gathering I will gather, or, consuming I will consume.
There shall be no grapes on the vine nor figs on the fig tree - (Joel 1:7; Matthew 21:19, "Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward forever." Jesus' sentence on the fruitless fig tree).
And the things that I have given ... shall pass away from them - rather, 'I will appoint to them those who shall overwhelm (pass over) them' - i:e., I will send the enemy upon them (Maurer). х Waa'eteen (H5414) laahem (H3807a) ya`abruwm (H5674)] The English version accords well with the context: Though their grapes and figs ripen, they shall not be allowed to enjoy them.
