'Fig trees' in the Bible
a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig-trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive-trees and honey;
And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees of their borders.
And they shall eat up thy harvest and thy bread, they shall eat up thy sons and thy daughters, they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds, they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig-trees; they shall destroy with the sword thy strong cities, wherein thou trustedst.
And I will lay waste her vines and her fig-trees, whereof she hath said, These are my hire that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
I have smitten you with blasting and mildew; the palmer-worm hath devoured the multitude of your gardens, and your vineyards, and your fig-trees and your olive-trees: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.
All thy fortresses are fig-trees with first-fruits, If they are shaken, They have fallen into the mouth of the eater.
