Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 17:11

_ _ In the day ... thy plant — rather, “In the day of thy planting” [Horsley].

_ _ shalt ... make ... grow — Maurer translates, “Thou didst fence it,” namely, the pleasure-ground. The parallel clause, “Make ... flourish,” favors English Version. As soon as thou plantest, it grows.

_ _ in the morning — that is, immediately after; so in Psalms 90:14, the Hebrew, “in the morning,” is translated “early.”

_ _ but ... shall be a heap — rather, “but (promising as was the prospect) the harvest is gone” [Horsley].

_ _ in ... day of grief — rather, “in the day of (expected) possession” [Maurer]. “In the day of inundation” [Horsley].

_ _ of desperate sorrow — rather, “And the sorrow shall be desperate or irremediable.” In English Version “heap” and “sorrow” may be taken together by hendiadys. “The heap of the harvest shall be desperate sorrow” [Rosenmuller].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 17:9-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

In the day — Thou shalt from day to day, beginning early in the morning, use all diligence that what thou hast planted may thrive. But — When this grievous calamity shall come, all your harvest shall be but one heap.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
