This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Cut off; devoured by locusts, or withered with drought, it is perished.
Before our eyes; we see it, it is not so far off as what is foretold, it is under our eye.
Yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God: sacrifices fail much, and priests have scarce enough to live upon, while free-will offerings, first-fruits, and tithes amount to very little, not sufficient to feast the sacrificers and offerers, who on such occasion did use to rejoice in the house of God.
