Isaiah 13:11
11. world--the impious of the world (compare Is 11:4). arrogancy--Babylon's besetting sin (Da 4:22, 30). the terrible--rather, tyrants [Horsley]. Isaiah 25:3
3. strong people--This cannot apply to the Jews; but other nations on which Babylon had exercised its cruelty (Is 14:12) shall worship Jehovah, awed by the judgment inflicted on Babylon (Is 23:18). city--not Babylon, which shall then be destroyed, but collectively for the cities of the surrounding nations.
