Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

The defenced city (shall be) desolate - Jerusalem; the beating asunder of whose altars and images was mentioned in Isaiah 27:9.

There shall the calf feed - (Isaiah 17:2.) It shall be a vast wild pasture.

And consume the branches - resuming the image of the vine (Isaiah 27:2; Isaiah 27:6).
