"It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
It is burnt with fire, it is cut down,.... That is, the vine of Israel, and the branch before spoken of, alluding to a vine, and its branches; which, when
become unprofitable, are cut down or cut off, and cast into the fire; see Joh 15:6 , so Jerusalem and the temple were burnt with fire by Nebuchadnezzar, and afterwards by Vespasian: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance; that is, the Israelites, signified by the vine, whose destruction was owing to the wrath of God upon them for their sins; he frowned upon them, and rebuked them in his hot displeasure, and to that their ruin was owing; others were only instruments in his hands. Some understand this as a wish or imprecation, let them that cut down the vine, and burn it with fire, perish at the rebuke of thy countenance; see Psa 68:1 , so the Targum.
