Isaiah 3:14

The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof ,....

For ye have eaten up the vineyard , or burnt it F16 בער־תאם "succendistis", Vatablus, Montanus. ; the house of Israel, and of Judah compared to a vineyard, in a following chapter; and so the Targum,

these are the husbandmen our Lord speaks of, that beat the servants that were sent for the fruits of the vineyard, and at last killed the heir, Matthew 21:34 .

The spoil of the poor is in your houses ; the Pharisees devoured widows' houses, and filled their own, with the spoil of them, Matthew 23:14 .
