Deuteronomy 32:32

For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes [are] grapes of gall, their clusters [are] bitter:

Ver. 32. For their vine is of the vine.] Vitis non vinifera, sed venenifera. The vine is the wicked nature, the grapes are the evil works. So Isaiah 59:5; - "They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web"; vanity or villainy is their whole trade; "he that eateth of their eggs dieth," &c. Look how the bird that sitteth on the serpent's eggs, by breaking and hatching them, brings forth a perilous brood to her own destruction: so do those that are yet in the state of nature, being the heirs of original and the fathers of actual sins, which "when they are finished bring forth death." Jam 1:15
