And threatens destruction to the wicked And the Daughter of Zion The phrase "Daughter of Zion" is a poetic term often used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the city of Jerusalem or its inhabitants. The term "daughter" suggests a relationship of care and affection, indicating God's special covenant relationship with Jerusalem. In Hebrew, "Zion" (צִיּוֹן, Tziyon) is a term that originally referred to a specific hill in Jerusalem but came to symbolize the entire city and its spiritual significance. This phrase evokes the image of Jerusalem as a cherished yet vulnerable entity, highlighting the city's spiritual and physical state. is left like a shelter in a vineyard like a hut in a field of melons like a city besieged Is left as a cottage in a vineyard . . .--The "hut," or "booth," in which the keeper of the vineyards dwelt, apart from other habitations, was an almost proverbial type of isolation, yet to such a state was Zion all but reduced. The second similitude is of the same character. Cucumbers and other plants of the gourd type (Jonah 4:6) were largely cultivated in Judaea, and here, too, each field or garden, like the olive groves and vineyards of Italy, had its solitary hut. As a besieged city.--The comparison of the besieged city to itself is at first startling. Rhetorically, however, it forms a climax. The city was not at this time actually besieged, but it was so hemmed in with perils, so isolated from all help, that this was what its condition practically came to. It was neither more nor less than "as a besieged city," or 'within a measurable distance' of becoming so. Verse 8. - The daughter of Zion. Not "the faithful Church" (Kay), but the city of Jerusalem, which is thus personified. Comp. Isaiah 47:1, 5, where Babylon is called the "daughter of the Chaldeans;" and Lamentations 1:6; Lamentations 2:1, 4, 8, 10, where the phrase here used is repeated in the same sense. More commonly it designates the people without the city (Lamentations 2:13; Lamentations 4:22; Micah 3:8, 10, 13; Zephaniah 3:14; Zechariah 2:10; Zechariah 9:9, etc.). As a cottage; rather, as a booth (Revised Version; see Leviticus 23:42). Vineyards required to be watched for a few weeks only as the fruit began to ripen; and the watchers, or keepers, built themselves, therefore, mere "booths" for their protection (Job 27:18). These were frail, solitary dwellings - very forlorn, very helpless. Such was now Jerusalem. As a lodge in a garden of cucumbers. Cucumber-gardens required watching throughout the season, i.e. from spring to autumn, and their watcher needed a more solid edifice than a booth. Hence such gardens had "lodges" in them, i.e. permanent huts or sheds, such as those still seen in Palestine (Tristram's 'Natural History of Palestine,' p. 442). As a besieged city. Though not yet besieged, Jerusalem is as if besieged - isolated, surrounded by waste tracts, threatened.Parallel Commentaries ...
