thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.

This is what the Lord of armies has said: See, I will send on them the sword and need of food and disease, and will make them like bad figs, which are of no use for food, they are so bad.

ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων· Ιδου, θελω αποστειλει επ' αυτους την μαχαιραν, την πειναν και τον λοιμον, και θελω καταστησει αυτους ως τα συκα τα αχρεια, τα οποια δια την αχρειοτητα δεν τρωγονται.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
