Oh Dios de los ejércitos, haznos tornar; y haz resplandecer tu rostro, y seremos salvos.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-16 - The church is represented as a vine and a vineyard. The root of thi vine is Christ, the branches are believers. The church is like a vine needing support, but spreading and fruitful. If a vine do not brin forth fruit, no tree is so worthless. And are not we planted as in well-cultivated garden, with every means of being fruitful in works of righteousness? But the useless leaves of profession, and the empt boughs of notions and forms, abound far more than real piety. It wa wasted and ruined. There was a good reason for this change in God's wa toward them. And it is well or ill with us, according as we are unde God's smiles or frowns. When we consider the state of the purest par of the visible church, we cannot wonder that it is visited with shar corrections. They request that God would help the vine. Lord, it is formed by thyself, and for thyself, therefore it may, with humbl confidence, be committed to thyself.
