This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
people of the land - the general multitude, as distinguished from the “king” and the “prince.” The consternation shall pervade all ranks. The king, whose duty it was to animate others and find a remedy for existing evils, shall himself be in the utmost anxiety; a mark of the desperate state of affairs.
clothed with desolation - Clothing is designed to keep off shame; but in this case shame shall be the clothing.
after their way - because of their wicked ways.
deserts - literally, “judgments,” that is, what just judgment awards to them; used to imply the exact correspondence of God’s judgment with the judicial penalties they had incurred: they oppressed the poor and deprived them of liberty; therefore they shall be oppressed and lose their own liberty.
