Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 32. - If the Rock of Israel was so much mightier than the rock of their enemies, how came it that Israel was beaten and put to flight by their enemies? The reason is here given: It was because Israel had become wholly corrupt and vitiated that they were forsaken of the Lord and left to the power of their enemies. Their vine; i.e. Israel itself (cf. Psalm 80:9, etc.; Isaiah 5:2; Jeremiah 2:21; Hosea 10:1 ). The vine of Sodom. It has been supposed that there is reference here to a particular plant, and different plants have been suggested as deserving to be so named. But it is more probable that Sodom and Gomorrah are here advanced as types of what is depraved, and to the moral taste nauseous (cf. Isaiah 1:10; Jeremiah 23:14). Gall (cf. Deuteronomy 29:18).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(32) Their vine--i.e., Israel's," not the enemies; going back to Deuteronomy 32:30, "Their Rock," i.e., Israel's Rock, "had sold them . . . for their vine is of the vine of Sodom." Comp. Hosea 10:1 : "Israel is an empty vine; he bringeth forth fruit unto himself;" and Isaiah 5:2; Isaiah 5:7 : "He looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes . . . He looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry."
