This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa 14:21-23. God’s determination to destroy Babylon.
Prepare, etc. - charge to the Medes and Persians, as if they were God’s conscious instruments.
his children - Belshazzar’s (Exo 20:5).
rise - to occupy the places of their fathers.
fill ... with cities - Maurer translates, “enemies,” as the Hebrew means in 1Sa 28:16; Psa 139:20; namely, lest they inundate the world with their armies. Vitringa translates, “disturbers.” In English Version the meaning is, “lest they fill the land with such cities” of pride as Babylon was.
