1. A cloud.] Ephraim was risen, seemed to threaten great things, overcast the leaves [like a cloud] but upon the brightness of Gods Justice appearing, all was dispelled. Their righteousness (chap. 6.) was as a cloud and dew [now they shall be so themselves.]
2. Dew] The dew it seems to bespangle the grass; but the Sun rising, it is soon dried up. Ephraims estate was beautiful, but the heat of Gods wrath consumes all presently.
3. The Chaff.] The word signifies the smallest of the chaff, the dust of the chaff-heap, and that abroad where 1their floors were, and a whirlwind coming upon it, Psal. 35 5. Let them be as chaff before the wind, and let the Angel of the Lord chase them.
