And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD.
In all vineyards shall be wailing - where usually songs of joy were heard.
For I will pass through thee - taking vengeance (Exodus 12:12; Exodus 12:23; Nahum 1:12). "Pass over" and "pass by," on the contrary, are used of God's forgiving, as God passed over the Israelite houses which had the blood-mark on the door (Exodus 12:23; Micah 7:18; cf. Amos 7:8).
