Ver. 16. There shall be an handful of corn, &c.] i.e. The barren mountains shall yield grain abundantly, and by handfuls; as Egypt did in those seven years of plenty, Genesis 41:47 .
The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon] The grain shall rattle and rustle, like the trees in Lebanon, shaken by the wind.
And they of the city shall flourish] Men also shall increase and multiply, Jeremiah 31:27, to a very great number, as piles of grass Christ's subjects shall.
