Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 7:22

22 And it shall come to pass for the abundance of milk that they shall give , he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.

Because they shall have excellent and large Pastures, by reason of the great scarcity of Cattel; whereas formerly their Lands were oft times over-stocked with Cattel.

Which may be here mentioned, either, 1. as mean and vulgar Food, being very common in those Parts; which are opposed to that Flesh and Corn, and other excellent Fruits of the Earth, wherewith their Land formerly abounded; or, 2. as very good and pleasant Food, which the poorer sort had formerly used to sell, to procure more necessary and cheaper Food for themselves: but now the Land should be so destitute of People, that there were none to whom they could sell them, and those few who did survive might freely eat all sorts of Provisions.

Marginal references: Heb. in the midst of the land.
