Exegesis
The first verb yakhmos {יַחְמֹס | yaḥmōs} ‘he will pluck off’ introduces the first simile with kagefen {כַּגֶּפֶן | kaggēp̄en} ‘like a vine’ governing bisro {בִּסְר֑וֹ | bisrô} ‘its unripe grape,’ illustrating premature fruit loss.
In context — Job 15:33
He will shake off like a vine its unripe grape , and he will cast off like an olive tree its blossom.
