Job 15:33
Douay-Rheims
He shall be blasted as a vine when its grapes are in the first flower, and as an olive tree that casteth its flower.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
Images of incompleteness. The loss of the unripe grapes is poetically made the vine tree's own act, in order to express more pointedly that the sinner's ruin is the fruit of his own conduct (Isa 3:11; Jer 6:19).
