This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_17:10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:
Ver. 10. Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation.] Thou hast disloyally departed from him, as a wife doth from her husband, though he were both able and ready to have saved thee.
Therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants.] But all to no purpose. Hoc patres familias pro regula habeant aeconomica. There is a curse upon the wicked, though never so industrious. All will not do. God cannot abide to be forgotten.
And shall set it with strange slips,] {a} i.e., Rare and excellent ones, but for the enemies’ use. {as Isa_17:11 Deu_28:29}
{a} Exotica fere non nisi preciosa afferuntur. - Jun.
