By the similitude of summer-fruit, which of course as soon as it ripens hastens to decay, is shewn, in a lively representation, the transitory state of all men; not only Israel, but all flesh: for all is as grass, and as the flower of the field. But in this place there is a peculiar reference to Israel's hastening to captivity. In a spiritual sense the image is still more striking. How truly short are all the summers of our spiritual enjoyments!
