46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
46 He gave their crops to the grasshopper, their produce to the locust.
46 He gave their crops to the destroying locust and the fruit of their labor to the locust.
46 He turned their harvest over to caterpillars, everything they had worked for to the locusts.
46 He also gave their crops to the caterpillar, And their labor to the locust.
46 He gave their crops to caterpillars; their harvest was consumed by locusts.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 78:46
Commentary on Psalm 78:40-55.
(Read Psalm 78:40-55.)
Let not those that receive mercy from God, be thereby made bold to sin, for the mercies they receive will hasten its punishment; yet let not those who are under Divine rebukes for sin, be discouraged from repentance. The Holy One of Israel will do what is most for his own glory, and what is most for their good. Their forgetting former favours, led them to limit God for the future. God made his own people to go forth like sheep; and guided them in the wilderness, as a shepherd his flock, with all care and tenderness. Thus the true Joshua, even Jesus, brings his church out of the wilderness; but no earthly Canaan, no worldly advantages, should make us forget that the church is in the wilderness while in this world, and that there remaineth a far more glorious rest for the people of God.
