Isaiah 5.

17

Then - When God shall have finished that work of judgment. The lambs - The poor and
harmless people, who shall be left in the land when the rich are carried into captivity.
Manner - Or, by their fold, as this word is manifestly used, Mic 2:12, the only place of
scripture, except this, in which this word is found. Waste places - The lands left by their
owners. Fat ones - Of the rich and great men. Strangers - The poor Israelites, who were
left to be vine - dressers and husbandmen, 2Ki 25:12, who are called strangers, because
they were so, in reference to that hand, not being the proper owners of it.
