The caper-berry
(κάππαρις)
shall fail, i.e. no longer stimulate appetite. But
διασχεδασθήσεται
(Sept. Cyril) means that the old man shall be like a caper-berry
which when fully ripe bursts it husks and scatters its seeds: so
R.V. (Margin); The caper-berry shall
burst. Greg. Thaumat. Metaphr. Eccles.
“The transgressors are cast out of the way, like a black and
despicable caper-plant.”
