Isaiah 7:25 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 7:25
Hills once terraced for productive farming would become pasture for grazing animals, showing economic regression and depopulation. The 'digging with the mattock' refers to the intensive labor required for hillside cultivation in ancient Palestine. The fear of 'briers and thorns' prevents agricultural work, completing the cycle of judgment. This passage illustrates how God's discipline can be comprehensive, affecting every aspect of life. Yet even in judgment, God provides—the land supports basic livestock, preserving the remnant.
