_ _ calf feed — (Isaiah 17:2); it shall be a vast wild pasture.

_ _ branches — resuming the image of the vine (Isaiah 27:2, Isaiah 27:6).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 27:10

Yet — Yet before this glorious promise be fulfilled, a dreadful and desolating judgment shall come. The city — Jerusalem and the rest of the defenced cities in the land. The habitation — The most inhabited and populous places. The calf — This is put for all sorts of cattle, which may securely feed there, because there shall be no men left to disturb them.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 27:10

Yet the (k) fortified city [shall be] desolate, [and] the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume its branches.

(k) Not withstanding his favour that he will show them later, yet Jerusalem will be destroyed, and grass for cattle will grow in it.
