10 For the defenced city is solitary, an habitation deserted and forsaken like the wilderness ; there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume her branches. ’

11 In the ’withering of her boughs they shall be broken off 3 women cOme, and set them on ﬁre ; for it is not a people of discernment: therefore he that made them hath no compassion on them, and he that formed them sheweth them no favour.

[*](2. ‘of foaming ’ so Heb. text. ‘Of’ some MSS. (Targ.?) and several editors.)[*](3. ‘hurt ’: or, ‘intrude (lit. visit) upon it.)[*](4. Many, altering vowel points, read ‘ I have no ’ (said by the vinegard). i.e. prob., ‘if only one would set briers, ’)[*](7 tin. Perhaps, altering vowel points, ‘the slaying of the slagers.)[*](8. Or, ‘he sigheth with his rough ’)[*](9. Or, ‘fruit of taking away his sin.’)
