Isaiah5:24
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness , and their blossom shall go up as dust : because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the hole One of Israel.
They shall be like a Tree which not onely withers in its Branches, but dies and rots at the Roots, and therefore is past all hopes of recovery. The sence is, They shall be destroyed both Root and Branch.
Shall vanish (for so the Word ascend or go up is oft used, as Exod. 16. 14. Iob 5. 26. Ier. 48. 15. Ezek. 11. 23, 24.) as the Dust, which is blown away with every Wind; or, shall be resolved into Dust, and yield no Fruit.
Which implies Disobedience joyned with Contempt.
Marginal references: Heb. the tongue of fire.
