A Pause for Revelation
Commentators note that this verse acts as a transition, moving from the vision of the figs to God's explanation of it. Some scholars suggest the phrasing implies a deliberate pause, allowing Jeremiah time to ponder what he had seen before the Lord made its meaning clear. This can remind believers that understanding God's will is sometimes a process, not an instantaneous event.
