isaiah 27:8 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. - Free Bible Online

isaiah 27:8 Thou didst contend with them by banishing them, by driving them away. With His fierce wind He has expelled [them] on the day of the east wind.


      8. In measure--not beyond measure; in moderation (Job 23:6; Ps 6:1; Jer 10:24; 30:11; 46:28).
      when it shooteth--image from the vine; rather, passing from the image to the thing itself, "when sending her away (namely, Israel to exile; Isa 50:1, God only putting the adulteress away when He might justly have put her to death), Thou didst punish her" [GESENIUS].
      stayeth--rather, as Margin, "when He removeth it by His rough wind in the day," &c.
      east wind--especially violent in the East (Job 27:21; Jer 18:17).
