13. surely consume--literally, "gathering I will gather," or "consuming
I will consume."
no grapes . . . nor figs--
(Joe 1:7;
Mt 21:19).
things that I have given . . . shall pass away--rather, "I will
appoint to them those who shall overwhelm (pass over) them," that is, I
will send the enemy upon them
[MAURER]. English Version accords
well with the context; Though their grapes and figs ripen, they shall
not be allowed to enjoy them.
