Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 24:2

Theological / Devotional

First ripe. Usually figs were harvested beginning in August. Those that were the “first ripe” (Hosea 9:10), the “summer fruits” (Micah 7:1), the “hasty fruit before the summer” (Isa. 28:4), were considered a select delicacy.

Naughty figs. Literally, “bad figs,” those that could not “be eaten,” probably because they were damaged, decayed, or of an unpalatable variety.
