And now I will tell you, &c. He graciously warns them beforehand, that they may have space and encouragement to repent, and so to prevent the threatened miseries. I will take away the hedge thereof, &c. I will withdraw my presence and protection from you, and give you up into the hands of your enemies. I will lay it waste It shall be overrun by heathen and infidels, and shall no longer bear the form of a vineyard. It shall not be pruned nor digged Vine-dressers used to dig up and open the earth about the roots of the vines. The meaning is, I will remove my ministers, who have used great care and diligence to make you fruitful: but there shall come up briers and thorns I will give you up to your own wicked lusts. I will also command the clouds I will deprive you of all my blessings.
