Albert Barnes Commentary Jeremiah 8:13

"I will utterly consume them, saith Jehovah: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf shall fade; and [the things that] I have given them shall pass away from them." — Jeremiah 8:13 (ASV)

Or, I will gather and sweep them away, says Jehovah: there are no grapes on the vine, and no figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf is dry: therefore will I appoint those that shall pass over them. Judah is a vine which bears no fruit: a tree which makes not even a profession of life, for her leaf is dry. Many explain the last words of an army sweeping over the land like a flood.
