47. He destroyed their vines with hail. No more
shall the butler press the clusters into your hand, Pharaoh! The vintage
failed. And their sycamore trees with frost. Frost was not usual, but
Jehovah regards no laws of nature when people regard not his moral laws. The
sycamore fig was perhaps more the fruit of the many than was the vine;
therefore this judgment was meant to smite the poor, while the former fell most
heavily upon the rich. The heavens obey their Lord and yield their stores of
hail, and the fickle weather is equally subservient to the divine will.
