visitation--vengeance: punishment (Isa 10:3). Israel shall know it--to her cost experimentally (Isa 9:9). the prophet is a fool--The false prophet who foretold prosperity to the nation shall be convicted of folly by the event. the spiritual man--the man pretending to inspiration (Lam 2:14; Eze 13:3; Mic 3:11; Zep 3:4). for the multitude of thine iniquity, &c.--Connect these words with, "the days of visitation . . . are come"; "the prophet . . . is mad," being parenthetical. the great hatred--or, "the great provocation" [HENDERSON]; or, "(thy) great apostasy" [MAURER]. English Version means Israel's "hatred" of God's prophets and the law.
