This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
43, 44. For remarks on the poetical form of these verses see Bp Jebb’s Sacred Literature, pp. 127–130. The climax is perfect. The first couplet (ἄρθησεται … καρποὺς αὐτῆς) expresses loss, the second (καὶ ὁ πεσὼν … λικμήσει αὐτόν) infliction of pain: in the first the sense of loss is enhanced by the sight of the possession passing to another, in the second pain is succeeded by utter destruction.
