Isaiah 27:10

Yet; yet before this glorious promise concerning the removal of Israel's sin and calamity be fulfilled, a dreadful and desolating judgment shall first come upon them. The defenced city; Jerusalem, and the rest of the defenced cities in the land, the singular number being put for the plural. The habitation; the most inhabited and populous places. Or, as the Hebrew word properly signifies, their pleasant habitations, whether in the city or country. Forsaken and left like a wilderness; which was fulfilled in the time of the Babylonish captivity. The calf; which is synecdochically put for all sorts of cattle, which may securely feed there, because there shall be no men left to disturb or annoy them. The branches thereof; of their pleasant habitation; of the young trees which shall grow up in that ruinated country.
