COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

11. commandeth, and he will smite —His word of command, when once given, cannot but be fulfilled ( Isaiah 55:11 ). His mere word is enough to smite with destruction. great house . . . little house —He will spare none, great or small ( Isaiah 55:11- : ). JEROME interprets "the great house" as Israel, and "the small house" as Judah: the former being reduced to branches or ruins, literally, "small drops"; the latter, though injured with "clefts" or rents, which threaten its fall, yet still permitted to stand. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-12" class="com-number"
