Quote for Discussionfat ones leanness. Fatness represents temporal prosperity, goodness, and earthly blessings (Gen. 45:18; Deut. 31:20; Neh. 9:25; Prov. 13:4); leanness represents a lack of temporal or spiritual prosperity and earthly blessings and is caused by wickedness and slothfulness (17:4-5; Gen. 41:2-20). Thus in the passage cited above, the Lord replaces the world’s fatness with leanness. his glory. The expressions his thorns, his briers, his forest, and his fruitful field (10:16-19) refer to the king of Assyria in all his glory.Parry, Parry, & Peterson, Understanding Isaiah, p. 108 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
