What does Jeremiah 8:13 mean?

I wanted to gather them up, but there’s no fruit on the vines, no figs on the trees, and even the leaves are withered. I’ve taken away what I gave them. Jeremiah 8:13 - Modern Text Bible

(God uses the image of a barren harvest to show that the people have nothing left spiritually or physically because of their unfaithfulness.)
