For — Israel and Jacob were more to God, yet he punished them; much more will he punish Nineveh. Turned — Laid low. The excellency — The wealth, the valiant men, all that Jacob gloried in. Jacob — The two tribes. Israel — The ten tribes. Emptied them — Quite exhausted them. Their vine — branches — Destroyed all the fruit of the land.
