That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that [were] before you.
Leviticus 18:28 — KJV
Spue. From qo’, “to vomit up” (see Lev. 18:25; Jonah 2:10). Israel held title to the Promised Land only on the basis of the covenant relationship. When they violated the covenant they forfeited their right to remain in Canaan. They would be “plucked from off the land” and scattered (Deut. 28:63, 64). Under the symbol of a “vine” Isaiah represents Israel “planted” in “a very fruitful hill.” But when the vine “brought forth wild grapes” God determined to lay the whole land waste (Isa. 5:1–7).
