Verse 28
The increase of his house shall depart ,.... Either his children or his substance. Some interpret it, as Kimchi F8 Sepher Shorash. rad. יבל . observes, of the walls of his house, because of what follows, "they shall flow away", &c.; as if he should say, the stones of his house shall fall down, and his habitation shall be destroyed, according to Micah 1:6 ; where a dilapidation is expressed by a flow, or pouring down of stones:
and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath ; in the day of the wrath of God upon him, which will come upon him like water split on the ground, of no more use and service to him; the Targum interprets it of oil and wine, which shall flow away and cease, and so Mr. Broughton renders it, "fruits for his house"; all desirable and useful ones, see Revelation 18:14 .
