What does Jeremiah 8:13 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
13. surely consume--literally, "gathering I will gather," or "consuming I will consume." no grapes ... nor figs--(Joe 1:7; Mt 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.
