Song of Songs 2:13
The fig tree ripens its figs;
What it says
He points to ripening figs and fragrant vines as he again calls the bride to come away.
What it is doing
This verse completes the spring summons with images of fruitfulness and desire.
In context

My beloved approaches. 9My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. 10My beloved calls to me, 11For now the winter is past; 12The flowers have appeared in the countryside; 13The fig tree ripens its figs;
