Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) Then shalt thou break the bottle . . .--Those who heard the prophet and saw his act were not unfamiliar with the imagery. The words of Psalm 2:9 had portrayed the Messianic king as ruling over the nations, even as "breaking them in pieces like a potter's vessel." But it was a new and strange thing to hear these words applied to themselves, to see their own nation treated, not as the potter's clay that could be remodelled, as in Jeremiah 18:1-6, either for a nobler, or, at least, for some serviceable use, but as the vessel which once broken could never be restored. Happily for Israel, there was a depth of Divine compassion which the parable failed to represent. The after-history showed that though, as far as that generation went, the punishment was final, and their existing polity could never be made whole again, there was yet hope for the nation. The things that were "impossible with man" were "possible with God." The fragments of the broken vessel might be gathered from the heap of rubbish on which the prophet had flung them, and brought into a new shape, for uses less glorious indeed than that for which it had been originally designed, but far other than those of a mere vessel of dishonour.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThen you are to shatterוְשָׁבַרְתָּ֖ (wə·šā·ḇar·tā)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 7665: To break, break in piecesthe jarהַבַּקְבֻּ֑ק (hab·baq·buq)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1228: A bottlein the presenceלְעֵינֵי֙ (lə·‘ê·nê)Preposition-l | Noun - cdcStrong's 5869: An eye, a fountainof the menהָֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים (hā·’ă·nā·šîm)Article | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 582: Man, mankindwho accompanyהַהֹלְכִ֖ים (ha·hō·lə·ḵîm)Article | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine pluralStrong's 1980: To go, come, walkyou,אוֹתָֽךְ׃ (’ō·w·ṯāḵ)Preposition | second person masculine singularStrong's 854: Nearness, near, with, by, at, amongJump to PreviousAccompany Bottle Break Broken Eyes Flagon Flask Jar Potter's Sight Watching
