The increase of his house shall depart
Either his children or his substance. Some interpret it, as Kimchi F8 observes, of the walls of his house, because of what follows, "they shall flow away" as if he should say, the stones of his house shall fall down, and his habitation shall be destroyed, according to ( Micah 1:6 ) ; where a dilapidation is expressed by a flow, or pouring down of stones:
[and his goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath;
in the day of the wrath of God upon him, which will come upon him like water split on the ground, of no more use and service to him; the Targum interprets it of oil and wine, which shall flow away and cease, and so Mr. Broughton renders it, "fruits for his house"; all desirable and useful ones, see ( Revelation 18:14 ) .
