This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Their root shall be as rottenness; they shall be like a tree which not only withers in its branches, but dies and rots at the roots, and therefore is past all hopes of recovery. The sense is, They shall be destroyed both root and branch.
Their blossom shall go up as dust; shall vanish (for so the word ascend or go up is oft used, as Exo_16:14 Job_5:26 Jer_48:15 Eze_11:23,24) as the dust, which is blown away with every wind; or, shall be resolved into dust, and yield no fruit.
They have cast away; which implies disobedience joined with contempt.
