Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 7:25

_ _ shall be — rather, “were once.”

_ _ digged — in order to plant and rear vines (Isaiah 5:6).

_ _ there shall not come — that is, none shall come who fear thorns, seeing that thorns shall abound on all sides [Maurer]. Otherwise, “Thou shalt not come for fear of thorns” [Gesenius]. Only cattle shall be able to penetrate the briery ground.

_ _ lesser cattle — sheep and goats.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 7:17-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 7:25

Digged — That used to be digged and dressed for the planting of vines, or other choice fruit — trees. The fear — That they might be freed from briars and thorns. Cattle — All sorts of cattle may enter, and feed there, the fences being broken down, and the owners slain, or carried into captivity.
