Isaiah24:13
13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive-tree, and as the gleaninggrapes when the vintage is done .
When this Judgment shall be executed.
In the Land: But withal this Phrase may intimate, that the Judgment should not be sleight and superficial, and in the Skirts of the Land; but that it should reach their very Heart, their most inward and best defended Parts.
There shall be left a Remnant, and that but a very small Remnant; as there are some few, and but a few Olives or Grapes left after the Vintage is over. Which, by comparing this with the following Verse, seems to be added by way of mitigation, to signifie, that God would in Judgment remember Mercy.
