“In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.”
In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish; but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow—the irony that even when the people make efforts to restore prosperity (planting and sowing), the harvest becomes a heap of ruin due to judgment. The day of grief suggests sudden, comprehensive loss. This verse emphasizes the futility of efforts to restore what God has judged.
