Verse 1
Thus hath the Lord God showed unto me ,.... Another vision, which is the fourth, and after the following manner:
and, behold, a basket of summer fruit ; not of the first ripe fruit, but of such as were gathered at the close of the summer, when autumn began. So the Targum,
"the last of the summer fruit;'
such as were fully ripe, and would not keep till winter; or, if kept, would rot; but must be eaten directly, as some sort of apples, grapes, &c.; denoting the people of Israel being ripe for destruction, and would be quickly devoured by their enemies; and that, as they had had a summer of prosperity, they would now have a sharp winter of adversity.
