Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 7:23

Theological / Devotional

A thousand silverlings. That is, “pieces of silver,” or shekels (see on Gen. 20:16; cf. S. of Sol. 8:11). Apiece of silver for a vine was probably a high price, and these vines must therefore have been of the choicest stock. The meaning here is that the best vineyards would revert to wilderness for lack of care. When the “vineyard” of Israel was cursed it brought forth briers and thorns (Isa. 5:6).
