Here, it symbolizes a thorough judgment or purification process. The "remnant of Israel" suggests those who remain after a period of judgment or calamity, a recurring theme in prophetic books.

The grape gatherer ensures that no fruit is left behind, symbolizing the completeness of God's judgment. This thoroughness can be seen as a call for repentance and a warning of the consequences of continued disobedience. The imagery of the vine and branches is also reminiscent of Jesus' teaching in <a href="/john/15.htm">John 15:1-8</a>, where He describes Himself as the true vine and His followers as the branches, emphasizing the need for connection to Him for spiritual life and fruitfulness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord_of_hosts.htm">The LORD of Hosts</a></b><br>This title emphasizes God's sovereignty and power over all heavenly and earthly armies.

If the text is correct, the speaker here addresses the leader of the gleaners. Keil thinks this change of construction is to emphasize the certainty of the predicted destruction. But it is much more natural (and in perfect harmony with many other similar phenomena of the received text) to suppose, with Hitzig, that the letter represented in the Authorized Version By "thine" has arisen by a mistaken repetition of the first letter of the following word, and (the verbal form being the same for the infinitive and the imperative) to render <span class="accented">turning again the hand</span>. In this case the clause will be dependent on the preceding statement as to the "gleaning" of Judah. <span class="cmt_word">Into the baskets</span>; rather, <span class="accented">unto the shoots</span>. The gleaners will do their work with a stern thoroughness, laying the hand of destruction again and again upon the vine-shoots. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/jeremiah/6-9.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">This is what</span><br /><span class="heb">כֹּ֤ה</span> <span class="translit">(kōh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3541.htm">Strong's 3541: </a> </span><span class="str2">Like this, thus, here, now</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the LORD</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהֹוָ֣ה</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
