Jeremía 8:13

Heilögum Biblíunni

13 Ég vil safna þeim saman eins og um uppskeru - segir Drottinn - en engin vínber eru á vínviðinum og engar fíkjur á fíkjutrénu, og laufið er fölnað. Vil ég því selja þá þeim á vald, er þá munu upp eta.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

I will surely consume them, saith the Lord,.... Or, "gathering I will gather them" k; into some one place, the city of Jerusalem, and there destroy them. The word is, לשון כלייה, expressive of consumption and destruction, as Jarchi, Kimchi, and Ben Melech observe; and so the Targum,

"destroying I will destroy them, saith the Lord.''

There shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; some understand this by way of complaint, that there were no fruit on the vine and fig tree, nor even leaves; which they allegorically interpret of the fruit of good works being wanting in them, which was the cause of their ruin. Others think there are metaphors which describe the manner of their destruction; and so the Targum,

"and they shall fall, as the grapes fall from the vine, and as the falling fruit from the fig tree, and as the leaf from the tree.''

Though it rather intends the sterility of the land, and in general the famine that should attend the siege of Jerusalem. Grapes and figs are mentioned only, as Kimchi observes, because they were the chief fruits, and they are put for the whole.

And the things that I have given them shall pass away from them; whatever they had in their barns and cellars, or were just becoming ripe in their fields, vineyards, and gardens, should either be blasted, or rather be taken away and devoured by their enemies, so that they themselves should not enjoy them. The Targum interprets it of the law transgressed by them, as the cause of their ruin, and paraphrases it thus,

"because I have given them my law from Sinai, and they have transgressed it;''

and so Jarchi,

"this shall be unto them, because I have given them statutes, and they have transgressed them.''

k אסף אסיפם "eolligendo colligam eos", Montanus, Tigurine version. So Piscator.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Or, “I will gather and sweep them away, saith Jehovah: there are no grapes on the vine, and no figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf is dry: therefore will I appoint those that shall pass over them.” Judah is a vine which bears no fruit: a tree which makes even no profession of life, for her leaf is dry. Many explain the last words of an army sweeping over the land like a flood.
