Contextual Overview
9 This is what the Lord All-Powerful says: "Gather the people of Israel who were left on their land. Gather them the way you would gather the last grapes on a grapevine. Check each vine, like the workers check each vine when they pick the grapes." 10 Who can I speak to? Who can I warn? Who will listen to me? The people of Israel have closed their ears, so they cannot hear my warnings. They don't like the Lord 's teachings. They don't want to hear his message. 11 But I am full of the Lord 's anger, and I am tired of holding it in! "Pour out my anger on the children playing in the streets and on the young soldiers gathered there as well. A man and his wife will both be captured as well as all the old people. 12 Their houses will be given to others. Their fields and their wives will be given to other people. I will raise my hand and punish the people of Judah." This message is from the Lord . 13 "All the people of Israel want more and more money. All of them, from the least important to the most important, are like that. Even the prophets and priests tell lies. 14 They should bandage the wounds my people have suffered, but they treat their wounds like small scratches. They say, ‘It's all right, everything is all right.' But it is not all right! 15 They should be ashamed of the evil things they do, but they are not ashamed at all. They don't know enough to be embarrassed by their sins. So they will be punished with everyone else. They will be thrown to the ground when I punish the people." This is what the Lord said. 16 This is what the Lord says: "Stand at the crossroads and look. Ask where the old road is. Ask where the good road is, and walk on that road. If you do, you will find rest for yourselves. But you people have said, ‘We will not walk on the good road.' 17 I chose watchmen to watch over you. I told them, ‘Listen for the sound of the war trumpet.' But they said, ‘We will not listen!'

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thus saith the Lord of hosts,.... Finding that all his threatenings, admonitions, and expostulations, were in vain, he says of the Chaldeans, with respect to the Israelites,
they shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine; by "the remnant of Israel" are meant the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, who were left in the land when the ten tribes were carried captive; and these the Chaldeans should come and carry away also, just as the poor come into a vineyard, after the vintage has been gathered in, and pick off and glean what is left upon the branches:
turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets; these words, according to Kimchi, are the words of the Chaldeans to one another, to turn their hands to the spoil, and to the prey, again and again, just as the grape gatherer does; he gathers a bunch of grapes, and puts it into his basket, and then turns his hand, time after time, till he has gleaned the whole vine: and, according to Jarchi, it seems to be his sense, that they are the words of God unto them; and so Abarbinel; and it is as if he should say, O thou enemy, turn thine hand to the spoil a second time, as a grape gatherer turns his hand to the baskets; and who observes that so it was, that when Jehoiakim was carried captive, and slain, Jeconiah was made king: then, at the end of three months, the enemy returned, and carried him captive; and, at the end of twelve years, returned again, and carried Zedekiah captive; nay, even of the poor of the people, and it may be observed, that they were carried away at different times; see Jeremiah 52:15.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
They ... - Each word indicates the completeness of Judah’s ruin.
Turn back thine hand - Addressed perhaps to Nebuchadnezzar as God’s servant Jeremiah 25:9. He is required to go over the vine once again, that no grapes may escape.
Into the baskets - Better, “upon the tendrils.” While the Jews carried captive to Babylon escaped, misery gleaned the rest again and again.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 6:9. They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand — The Chaldeans are here exhorted to turn back and glean up the remnant of the inhabitants that were left after the capture of Jerusalem; for even that remnant did not profit by the Divine judgments that fell on the inhabitants at large.
