This phrase indicates divine judgment and the removal of blessings. In the context of Jeremiah, God is speaking through the prophet to the people of Judah, warning them of the consequences of their persistent disobedience and idolatry. The harvest represents not only physical sustenance but also the prosperity and security that come from God's favor. This echoes the covenant curses found in <a href="/deuteronomy/28-38.htm">Deuteronomy 28:38-42</a>, where disobedience leads to agricultural failure. The declaration by the LORD emphasizes the certainty and authority of this pronouncement.There will be no grapes on the vine, Grapes were a staple in the diet of ancient Israel and a symbol of abundance and blessing (<a href="/numbers/13-23.htm">Numbers 13:23-24</a>). The absence of grapes signifies a severe economic and social impact, as wine was a common beverage and used in religious rituals. This imagery is also used in <a href="/isaiah/5.htm">Isaiah 5:1-7</a>, where Israel is compared to a vineyard that fails to produce good fruit, leading to judgment. The vine is often a metaphor for Israel itself (<a href="/psalms/80-8.htm">Psalm 80:8-16</a>), and the lack of grapes underscores the nation's spiritual barrenness.nor figs on the tree, Figs were another important crop in ancient Israel, often associated with peace and prosperity (<a href="/1_kings/4-25.htm">1 Kings 4:25</a>). The fig tree is used symbolically in the Bible to represent Israel (<a href="/hosea/9-10.htm">Hosea 9:10</a>, <a href="/matthew/21-19.htm">Matthew 21:19</a>). The absence of figs indicates a withdrawal of God's blessing and protection, leading to national calamity. This imagery is also prophetic, as Jesus later curses a barren fig tree in <a href="/mark/11-12.htm">Mark 11:12-14</a>, symbolizing judgment on unfruitfulness.and even the leaf will wither. Withering leaves suggest a complete lack of life and vitality, pointing to the totality of the judgment. In a broader biblical context, withering is often associated with God's judgment and the consequences of sin (<a href="/psalms/1-3.htm">Psalm 1:3-4</a>, <a href="/isaiah/40-7.htm">Isaiah 40:7-8</a>). This phrase emphasizes the thoroughness of the devastation, leaving nothing untouched. It serves as a stark warning of the spiritual and physical consequences of turning away from God.Whatever I have given them will be lost to them.” This final phrase underscores the theme of loss due to disobedience. It reflects the principle that blessings are contingent upon faithfulness to God (<a href="/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28:1-14</a>). The gifts and prosperity that God had bestowed upon Israel, including the land itself, would be forfeited as a result of their unfaithfulness. This loss is not just material but also spiritual, as the people are alienated from the source of their blessings. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus speaks of the kingdom being taken away from those who do not produce its fruits (<a href="/matthew/21-43.htm">Matthew 21:43</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a> A prophet called by God to deliver messages of warning and judgment to the people of Judah.

Israel is a degenerate vine, a barren fig-tree. Here, again, we find an echo of the teaching of Jeremiah in that of Jesus (<a href="/matthew/21-19.htm" title="And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said to it, Let no fruit grow on you henceforward for ever.

In <a href="/micah/7-1.htm" title="Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first ripe fruit.">Micah 7:1</a> we have another example of the same figurative language. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/8.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 13 - <a href="/jeremiah/9-1.htm">Jeremiah 9:1</a>. - 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 (<a href="/jeremiah/2-21.htm">Jeremiah 2:21</a>); here the vine does not even pretend to bear fruit. Another figure is that of a barren fig tree (comp. <a href="/matthew/21-19.htm">Matthew 21:19</a>). 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. <a href="/isaiah/8-7.htm">Isaiah 8:7</a>; <a href="/daniel/11-10.htm">Daniel 11:10, 40</a>. <a href="/commentaries/jeremiah/8-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>I will take away their harvest, אָסֹ֥ף (’ā·sōp̄) Verb - Qal - Infinitive absolute <a href="/hebrew/strongs_622.htm">Strong's 622: </a> To gather for, any purpose, to receive, take away, remove declares נְאֻם־ (nə·’um-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5002.htm">Strong's 5002: </a> An oracle the LORD. יְהֹוָ֑ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3069.htm">Strong's 3069: </a> YHWH There will be no אֵין֩ (’ên) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_369.htm">Strong's 369: </a> A non-entity, a negative particle grapes עֲנָבִ֨ים (‘ă·nā·ḇîm) Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6025.htm">Strong's 6025: </a> A grape on the vine, בַּגֶּ֜פֶן (bag·ge·p̄en) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1612.htm">Strong's 1612: </a> A vine, the grape nor וְאֵ֧ין (wə·’ên) Conjunctive waw | Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_369.htm">Strong's 369: </a> A non-entity, a negative particle figs תְּאֵנִ֣ים (tə·’ê·nîm) Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8384.htm">Strong's 8384: </a> Of foreign derivation, the fig on the tree, בַּתְּאֵנָ֗ה (bat·tə·’ê·nāh) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8384.htm">Strong's 8384: </a> Of foreign derivation, the fig and even the leaf וְהֶֽעָלֶה֙ (wə·he·‘ā·leh) Conjunctive waw, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5929.htm">Strong's 5929: </a> A leaf, foliage will wither. נָבֵ֔ל (nā·ḇêl) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5034.htm">Strong's 5034: </a> To wilt, to fall away, fail, faint, to be foolish, wicked, to despise, disgrace Whatever I have given וָאֶתֵּ֥ן (wā·’et·tên) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set them לָהֶ֖ם (lā·hem) Preposition-l | Pronoun - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1992.htm">Strong's 1992: </a> They will be lost to them.” יַעַבְרֽוּם׃ (ya·‘aḇ·rūm) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine plural | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5674.htm">Strong's 5674: </a> To pass over, through, or by, pass on <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/jeremiah/8-13.htm">Jeremiah 8:13 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/jeremiah/8-13.htm">Jeremiah 8:13 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/jeremiah/8-13.htm">Jeremiah 8:13 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/jeremiah/8-13.htm">Jeremiah 8:13 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/jeremiah/8-13.htm">Jeremiah 8:13 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/jeremiah/8-13.htm">Jeremiah 8:13 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/jeremiah/8-13.htm">Jeremiah 8:13 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/jeremiah/8-13.htm">Jeremiah 8:13 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/jeremiah/8-13.htm">Jeremiah 8:13 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/jeremiah/8-13.htm">Jeremiah 8:13 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/jeremiah/8-13.htm">OT Prophets: Jeremiah 8:13 I will utterly consume them says Yahweh: (Jer.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/jeremiah/8-12.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Jeremiah 8:12"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Jeremiah 8:12" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/jeremiah/8-14.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Jeremiah 8:14"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Jeremiah 8:14" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
