Judgment as Total Destruction
Commentators emphasize that the destruction described is sudden, violent, and total. The vine isn't just pruned; it's 'plucked up in fury,' 'cast down,' 'dried up,' 'broken,' and 'consumed by fire.' Scholars like Calvin and Gill explain this imagery to show that Israel's downfall was not a gradual decline but a direct and severe act of God's wrath against their persistent sin.
