Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
The fruits (h opwra). The ripe autumn fruit (Jeremiah 40:10, Jeremiah 40:12). Here only in N.T. Of uncertain etymology (possibly opov, sap, wra, hour, time for juicy sap). See Judges 1:12 for dendra fqinopwrinov (autumn trees).
Which thy soul lusteth after (sou thv epiqumiav thv yuxhv). "Of the lusting of thy soul."
Are gone from thee (aphlqen apo sou). Prophetic aorist active indicative of aperxomai with repetition of apo.
All things that were dainty and sumptuous (panta ta lipara kai ta lampra). "All the dainty and the gorgeous things." Liparov is from lipov (grease) and so fat, about food (here only in N.T.), while lamprov is bright and shining (James 2:2 f.), about clothing.
Are perished from thee (apwleto apo sou). Prophetic second aorist middle indicative of apollumi (intransitive).
Shall find them no more at all (ouketi ou mh auta eurhsousin). Doubled double negative with future active, as emphatic a negation as the Greek can make.
