On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

This would be the language especially of the great and mighty men, Rev. vi. They that would not flee to Christ for refuge, and put themselves under his protection, will in vain call to hills and mountains to shelter them from his wrath. He shows how natural it was for them to infer this desolation from his sufferings.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

If they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry? - Our Lord makes use of a proverbial expression, frequent among the Jews, who compare a good man to a green tree, and a bad man to a dead one: as if he had said, If an innocent person suffer thus, what will become of the wicked? Of those who are as ready for destruction as dry wood for the fire?
