The little foxes—Secret beginnings of sin in the mind.
That spoil the vines—That prevent us from yielding the fruitage of love so precious in Thy sight.
For our vines—“I am the Vine; ye are the branches.”
Have tender grapes—Have begun a fruitage, which is ripening beautifully in the Father's sight.
2:16. My Beloved is mine—“The Head can not say to the feet, I have no need of you.”
And I am His—“If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it not of the body?”
He feedeth—Bestows His spiritual favors upon.
The lilies—“The meek will He guide in judgment; the meek will He teach His way.”
2:17. Until the day break—Until the Messianic Morning has fully dawned.
And the shadows—Of the reign of sin and death.
