Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) The vine is dried up.--The ravages produced by the locusts and the drought are universal. There seems to be a method in the enumeration of the trees. The vine is the favourite term for the chosen people; the fig-tree has its life prolonged at the intercession of the "dresser of the vineyard," in our Lord's parable (Luke 13:8); the tall and stately pomegranate is of such importance as to give its name to the idol Rimmon; yea, and the palm-tree, even that is gone; the apple also, including the lemon, citron, &c.--all joy is vanished.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThe grapevineהַגֶּ֣פֶן (hag·ge·p̄en)Article | Noun - common singularStrong's 1612: A vine, the grapeis dried up,הוֹבִ֔ישָׁה (hō·w·ḇî·šāh)Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 3001: To be ashamed, confused, disappointed, to dry up, witherand the fig treeוְהַתְּאֵנָ֖ה (wə·hat·tə·’ê·nāh)Conjunctive waw, Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 8384: Of foreign derivation, the figis withered;אֻמְלָ֑לָה (’um·lā·lāh)Verb - Pual - Perfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 535: To droop, to be sick, to mournthe pomegranate,רִמּ֞וֹן (rim·mō·wn)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 7416: A pomegranate, the tree, the fruitpalm,תָּמָ֣ר (tā·mār)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 8558: Palm tree, date palmand apple—וְתַפּ֗וּחַ (wə·ṯap·pū·aḥ)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 8598: An apple, the fruit, the treeallכָּל־ (kāl-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everythe treesעֲצֵ֤י (‘ă·ṣê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 6086: Tree, trees, woodof the orchard—הַשָּׂדֶה֙ (haś·śā·ḏeh)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 7704: Field, landare withered.יָבֵ֔שׁוּ (yā·ḇê·šū)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 3001: To be ashamed, confused, disappointed, to dry up, witherSurelyכִּֽי־ (kî-)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionthe joyשָׂשׂ֖וֹן (śā·śō·wn)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 8342: Cheerfulness, welcomeofמִן־ (min-)PrepositionStrong's 4480: A part of, from, out ofmankindאָדָֽם׃ (’ā·ḏām)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 120: Ruddy, a human beinghas dried up.הֹבִ֥ישׁ (hō·ḇîš)Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 3001: To be ashamed, confused, disappointed, to dry up, witherJump to PreviousApple Apple-Tree Dried Dries Dry Fails Field Fig Fig-Tree Gladness Indeed Joy Languisheth Palm Palm-Tree Pomegranate Pomegranate-Tree Rejoicing Tree Trees Vine Withered Withers
