Commentaries:John Wesley's Notes
<< Isaiah 17:8 Isaiah 17:10 >>
Isaiah 17:9
In - The day of Jacob's trouble, of which he spake Isaiah 17:4. Uppermost branch - Which he that prunes the tree neglects, because he esteems it useless and inconsiderable. Left - Which they (the Canaanites) left or forsook because of (or for fear of) the children of Israel. And this was a fit example, to awaken the Israelites to a serious belief of this threatening, because God had inflicted the same judgment upon the Canaanites, for the same sins of which they were guilty.
