23 When they came to the torrent valley of Eshʹcol,+ they then proceeded to cut down from there a shoot with one cluster of grapes.+ And they went carrying it with a bar on two of the men, and also some of the pomegranates+ and some of the figs.
4 And the fading flower+ of its decoration of beauty that is upon the head of the fertile valley must become like the early fig+ before summer, that, when the seer sees it, while it is yet in his palm, he swallows it down.
7Too bad for me,+ for I have become like the gatherings of summer fruit, like the gleaning of a grape gathering!+ There is no grape cluster to eat, no early fig, that my soul would desire!+
