“For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.”
For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches—the judgment against Cush, depicted as pruning branches from a vine before full harvest. The incomplete ripeness suggests that judgment comes before full development. This verse depicts judgment as pruning of vines.
