For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth
Shall be stripped of all their dependencies and self confidence,
and be as naked and as bare as an oak that has cast its leaves;
or thus, in a way of just retaliation, since they have desired
oaks, and sacrificed under them, they shall be like them as in
the wintertime, stripped of all their riches, honour, substance,
and desirable things; see ( Revelation
18:12-19 ) and as a garden that hath no
water;
in which the herbs and plants are dried up and withered: it
signifies the uncomfortable condition such shall be in, as
before.
