John Trapp on Isaiah 29:17

Ver. 17. Is it yet not a very little while?] Nonne adhuc paululum paululum] or an hundred years hence the Gentiles ſhall be called by the preaching of the Apoſtles (for here beginneth the Conſolatory part of this Chapter; ſee on ver. 1.) and that's but a very ſmall time with God. He ſpeeds away the generation, that he may finiſh the calling of his elect, and ſo put an end to All.

And Lebanon ſhall be turned into a fruitful field] Heb. Lebanon ſhall be turned into Carmel, Sylveſtria corda electorum inter gentes. Piſcator. the wide world, the wilde waſte of the Gentiles (confer Iſai. 22.15.) the Elect amongſt them ſhall be made Gods husbandry or vineyard, Eph. 2.12. Rom. 11.17 & è contra, Carmelus fiet Libanus.

The fruitful field ſhall be eſteemed as a forreſt] The obſtinate Jews with their ſeeming fruitfulneſs ſhall be rejected. Lo here is a turning of things upſide down, that you dream not of; this is that marvellous work, ver. 14.
