Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Though he be fruitful - yaphri ; a paronomasia on the word ephrayim , which comes from the same root parah , to be fruitful, to sprout, to bud.
An east wind shall come - As the east wind parches and blasts all vegetation, so shall Shalmaneser blast and destroy the Israelitish state.
