Verse 1
Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
An empty vine — That hath lost its strength to bring forth fruit.
Unto himself — Whatever fruit was brought forth by its remaining strength, was not brought forth to God.
His fruit — When the land yielded more plentiful increase, this plenty was employed on multiplying idols.
The altars — Of his idols.
The goodness — Imagining that the goodness of their land was a blessing from their idols.
