Exegesis
The verse opens with the simile ve-khatteʾnim ha-raʿot {וְכַתְּאֵנִים הָרָעוֹת | wə-ḵat-tə-ʾē-nîm hā-rā-ʿōṯ} ‘and like the bad figs’, followed by the relative clause asher lo-teʾakhalna mē-rō {אֲשֶׁר לֹא־תֵאָכַלְנָה מֵרֹעַ | ʾă-šer lōʾ-tē-ʾā-khal-nāh mē-rōʿ} ‘which cannot be eaten from badness’.
In context — Jeremiah 24:8
And like the bad figs which cannot be eaten from badness, thus says the LORD : “So I will treat Zedekiah the king of Judah and his officials , the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those dwelling in the land of Egypt like these bad figs.”
