4 cand the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
which is on the head of the rich valley,
will be like da first-ripe fig before the summer:
when someone sees it, he swallows it
as soon as it is in his hand.

Hosea 9:10
Like grapes in the wilderness,
I found Israel.
Like the first fruit on the fig tree
in its first season,
I saw your fathers.
But they came to Baal-peor
and consecrated themselves to the thing of shame,
and became detestable like the thing they loved.
Micah 7:1
Woe is me! For I have become
as when the summer fruit has been gathered,
as when the grapes have been gleaned:
there is no cluster to eat,
no first-ripe fig that my soul desires.
