Notes, Critical and Explanatory, on the Holy Scriptures
Isaiah 33
P. " When thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously." L. " An end of wasting." The spoliation and overthrow of the Assyrian king, after a successful career of plunder and violence, are foretold.
H. P. w At the noise of the tumult" V. considers it as alluding to the consternation produced by the angel in the camp of 8ennacherib.
P. " As the running to and fro of locusts." The collection of spoils resembles swarms of locusts, which gather up and destroy the grain.
This may be understood of a Divine visitation, likened to a great fire ; but It is naturally referred to chat everlasting burning which awaits hypocrites and sinners, according to the express declaration of our Lord. The prophet passes to state the happiness and rewards of the just man .
Language conformable to truth and justice.
Plots to murder. He rejects all propositions to take away life unlawfully.
Is averse to crime: turns away from it with horror.
His place of refuge. He shall be secure under Divine protection. Necessary support will be given him by Divine Providence.
