They are invited yet at length to humble themselves before God, since it is impossible for them to make their part good against him,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Their vineyards and gardens yielded their increase in great abundance, so did their fig-trees and olive-trees; but the palmer-worm devoured them before the fruits were ripe, and fit to be gathered in. This was either the same judgment with that which we read of Joel i. 4-6 , or a less judgment of the same nature, sent before to give warning of that.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Ho 7:10); the monotonous repetition of the same burden marking their pitiable obstinacy. cleanness of teeth--explained by the parallel, "want of bread." The famine alluded to is that mentioned in 2Ki 8:1 [GROTIUS]. Where there is no food to masticate, the teeth are free from uncleanness, but it is the cleanness of want.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

blasting--the blighting influence of the east wind on the corn (Ge 41:6). when . . . gardens . . . increased--In vain ye multiplied your gardens, &c., for I destroyed their produce. BOCHART supports Margin, "the multitude of your gardens." palmer worm--A species of locust is here meant, hurtful to fruits of trees, not to herbage or corn.
