“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.
ExplanationCommentary
Verse 13. Shall overtake, and so forth By this is meant the great abundance of spiritual blessings; which, as it were, by a constant succession, shall enrich the Church of Christ. Challoner.—Munster, and his imitator, Clarius, see nothing but an allegory in this abundance and return, verse 14. Yet the literal sense ought to be adopted, when it involves no contradiction. Houbigant, pref. p. 297.—God promised a succession of crops to the faithful Israelites, (Leviticus 26:5) and the return of the ten tribes is frequently specified. Calmet.
