The author is speaking of fortresses as if they were fig trees with first fruits because they will be easy to capture, just as ripe figs are easy to pick. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [All of your fortresses will be as easy to capture as ripe figs are to pick]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
