Verse 4. Vision. They shall have no appearance of truth.—Sackcloth. Hebrew “hairy skin;” adereth. Such were used by kings. Jonah 3:6. The people shall not be deceived by such appearances, so that these garments will not be used. The Jews have always been ready to receive impostors. Matthew 7:15. Yet they shall not be so frequent, or dangerous. The prophets used coarse hairy garments. 4 Kennicott. 1:8.
