Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
In measure—not beyond measure; in moderation (Job 23:6; Psalms 6:1; Jeremiah 10:24; Jeremiah 30:11; Jeremiah 46:28).
when it shooteth—image from the vine; rather, passing from the image to the thing itself, "when sending her away (namely, Israel to exile; Isaiah 50:1, God only putting the adulteress away when He might justly have put her to death), Thou didst punish her" [GESENIUS].
stayeth—rather, as Margin, "when He removeth it by His rough wind in the day," etc.
east wind—especially violent in the East (Job 27:21; Jeremiah 18:17).
