Isaiah 7:23
And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns.
And it shall come to pass in that day; that every place shall be,.... Barren and unfruitful, for want of men to till the ground:
where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings; which were so good, as to be sold or let out for so many silver shekels {m}; or the fruit of them came to such a price; see Song of Solomon 8:11:
it shall even be for briers and thorns; for want of persons to stock the ground and cultivate it.
{m} Which was about two shillings and sixpence of our money.
