John Trapp on Isaiah 1:8

Ver. 8. And the Daughter of Zion] 1. Jeruſalem which is called the Daughter of Zion ſay ſome, becauſe ſtanding at the foot of that Hill as a Daughter, it comes out from between the feet, being alſo cheriſhed and tendered by God as his Daughter. Howbeit, as dear as ſhe was to him, ſhe fell into deep diſtreſs, when ſhe became undutifull. Abuſed Mercy turneth into fury.

Is left as a cottage in a Vineyard] As a ſhed or booth, whereof after the Vintage, there is little uſe or regard.

As a lodge in a garden of Cucumers] Or Melons, which when ripe, lie on the ground: So ſaith one, do Gods ripeſt and beſt ſervants, being humble, and meanly conceited of themſelves.

As a beſieged City] Beſieged, though at a diſtance: as Rome was, when Saguntum was beleagured.
