"He will shake off his unripe grape like the vine, and cast off his blossom like the olive tree." The wicked person cannot bring his projects to fruition. His endeavors abort before maturity, like fruit falling prematurely. The verse suggests that the wicked person's efforts are repeatedly thwarted, that his life is a series of failed attempts. Completion is impossible for the wicked.
