This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Judah had not in Uzziah’s reign recovered from the ravages of the Syrians in Joash’s reign (2Ch 24:24), and of Israel in Amaziah’s reign (2Ch 25:13, 2Ch 25:23, etc.). Compare Isaiah’s contemporary (Amo 4:6-11), where, as here (Isa 1:9, Isa 1:10), Israel is compared to “Sodom and Gomorrah,” because of the judgments on it by “fire.”
in your presence - before your eyes: without your being able to prevent them.
desolate, etc. - literally, “there is desolation, such as one might look for from foreign” invaders.
