Rashi, on Jer 8:13

“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.”

“I will utterly consume them This is an expression of destruction. Comp. (Zeph. 1:2) “I will utterly consume (אסף אסף) everything from upon the face of the earth.” There shall be no grapes on the vine Nothing will be left over. even the leaves will be withered Heb. נבל, an expression of withering (fleirit in French). Comp. (Isa. 34:4) “and as a withered fig (וּכנבלת) from a fig tree.” Also (ibid. 1:30), “like an elm whose leaves are wilting (נבלת).” for what I gave them they transgressed All this shall befall them because I gave them statutes and they transgressed them.”
