The Hebrew root for "take away" is "אסף" (asaph), which means to gather or remove. In the agricultural society of ancient Israel, the harvest was a critical time of gathering crops, symbolizing sustenance and blessing. By declaring He will take away their harvest, God is indicating a removal of His provision and blessing due to their disobedience. This serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of turning away from God, emphasizing His sovereignty over the land and its produce. “declares the LORD.” “There will be no grapes on the vine,” “no figs on the tree,” “and the leaf will wither.” “What I have given them will be taken away.” There shall be.--These words are not in the Hebrew, and the verse describes, not the judgment of Jehovah on the state of Israel, but that state itself. There are no grapes on the vine, no figs on the fig-tree, the leaf fadeth. The words are figurative rather than literal, after the manner of Jeremiah 2:21; Isaiah 5:2. Israel is a degenerate vine, a barren fig-tree. Here, again, we find an echo of the teaching of Jeremiah in that of Jesus (Matthew 21:19; Luke 13:6-9). In Micah 7:1 we have another example of the same figurative language. . . . Verse 13 - Jeremiah 9:1. - Further description of the judgment; grief of Jeremiah. Verse 13. - There shall be no grapes, etc.; rather, there are no grapes... and the leaf is faded. It is the actual condition of things which the prophet describes. Elsewhere Judah is compared to a vine with bad grapes (Jeremiah 2:21); here the vine does not even pretend to bear fruit. Another figure is that of a barren fig tree (comp. Matthew 21:19). And the things that I have given them, etc.; rather, and I gave them that which they transgress (viz. laws). The construction, however, which this rendering implies is not perfectly natural, though supported by most of the ancient versions (except the Septuagint, which omits the words), and it is better to alter a single vowel-point, and render "And I will give them to those who shall pass over them." The phrase to pass away is constantly used of an invading host; e.g. Isaiah 8:7; Daniel 11:10, 40.Parallel Commentaries ...
