Isaiah27:10

10 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 .

Yet before this glorious Promise concerning the removal of Israel's Sin and Calamity be fulfilled, a dreadful and desolating Judgment shall first come upon them.

Ierusalem and the rest of the Defenced Cities in the Land, the Singular Number being put for the Plural.

The most inhabited and populous Places. Or, as the Hebrew Word properly signifies, their pleasant habitations, whether in the City or Country.

Which was fulfilled in the time of the Babylonish Captivity.

Which is Synechdochically put for all sorts of Cattel, which may securely feed there, because there shall be no Men left to disturb or annoy them.

Of their pleasant Habitation; of the young Trees which shall grow up in that ruinated Country.
