Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - In the day; or, in a day (Kay). Shalt thou make; rather, thou makest. Each new slip that is planted is forced to take root and grow and flourish at once; the next morning it is expected to have formed its seed and reached perfection. So the harvest is hurried on; but when it is reached, the day of visitation has arrived - a day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) In the day shalt thou make.--Better, thou makest, or, thou fencest, thy plant. The alliance between Syria and Ephraim is compared in the rapidity of its growth with the "gardens of Adonis." All the "harvest heaps" from such a planting would end, not in the wonted joy of harvest (Isaiah 9:3), but in "grief and incurable pain" There is no sufficient evidence for the marginal reading of the Authorised version.
