Isaiah 24:13

Isaiah 24:13

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

When thus it shall be; rather, for so shall it be. In the time described the condition of the earth shall be like to that of an olive-ground when the beating is done, or of a vineyard when (he grapes are gathered.

That is, a small and scattered remnant of inhabitants shall alone be left, like the few grapes and olives that were the portion of the gleaners (cf. ). There shall be. These words are not needed, and should be erased.

The nexus is, "so it shall be as the shaking [rather, 'beating'] of an olive tree."
