This and the following verse contain either,
1. A mitigation of the foregoing calamity, or some comfort for the remainders of the people, after the public devastation; or rather,
2. A further declaration of the threatened desolation; which best agrees not only with the foregoing, but also with the following verses. So the sense of this verse is this, They who formerly used to keep great herds of cattle, and many flocks of sheep, shall esteem it a great happiness if they can keep but one cow and two sheep, to keep themselves from extremity of famine.
