Reformed 1871 · Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, Jeremiah 8:13

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Jer 8:13

Jer 8:13 · Douay-Rheims
“Gathering I will gather them together, saith the Lord, there is no grape on the vines, and there are no figs on the fig tree, the leaf is fallen: and I have given them the things that are passed away.”
On this verse:
“surely consume--literally, "gathering I will gather," or "consuming I will consume." no grapes . . . nor figs-- (Joe 1:7; Mat 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.”
