which leaveth no food.
Heb. without food.
• Such, often, seem utterly bereft of pity and compassion, and may well be likened to a sweeping rain, which instead of helping the crop to mature, washes away all the seed and leaves no food. It was this that made the publicans of our Lord’s day to be so detested by the populace. (“Proverbs Twenty-Eight” by H.A. Ironside)
