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.
Note an…: or, a vine emptying the fruit which it giveth
Note images: Heb. statues, or, standing images
