‏ Isaiah 27:8

8. In measure--not beyond measure; in moderation (Job 23:6; Psa 6:1; Jr 10:24; 30:11; 46:28).

when it shooteth--image from the vine; rather, passing from the image to the thing itself, "when sending her away (namely, Israel to exile; Is 50:1, God only putting the adulteress away when He might justly have put her to death), Thou didst punish her" [Gesenius].

stayeth--rather, as Margin, "when He removeth it by His rough wind in the day," &c.

east wind--especially violent in the East (Job 27:21; Jr 18:17).
