Psalms 80:12

Psa 80:12 Why hast thou [then] broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

Ver. 12. Why hast thou then broken down her hedges? ] i.e. Taken away thy mighty hand hitherto held over her. This befell not till they degenerated into a strange vine, Jeremiah 2:21 , and brought forth wild grapes, Isaiah 5:4 .
