“Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:”
Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and set it with strange slips—the explanation for judgment: forgetfulness of God results in devotion to idols and foreign religious practices. The planting of strange plants suggests the adoption of foreign religious customs. This verse diagnoses the spiritual disease underlying judgment.
