Isaiah 7:23 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 7:23

And it shall come to pass in that day; [that] every place
shall be
Barren and unfruitful, for want of men to till the ground: where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings;
which were so good, as to be sold or let out for so many silver shekels F13; or the fruit of them came to such a price; see ( Song of Solomon 8:11 ) : it shall [even] be for briers and thorns;
for want of persons to stock the ground and cultivate it.

FOOTNOTES:

F13 Which was about two shillings and sixpence of our money.

Isaiah 7:23 In-Context

21 On that day one will keep alive a young cow and two sheep,
22 and will eat curds because of the abundance of milk that they give; for everyone that is left in the land shall eat curds and honey.
23 On that day every place where there used to be a thousand vines, worth a thousand shekels of silver, will become briers and thorns.
24 With bow and arrows one will go there, for all the land will be briers and thorns;
25 and as for all the hills that used to be hoed with a hoe, you will not go there for fear of briers and thorns; but they will become a place where cattle are let loose and where sheep tread.
