This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa 33:1-24. The last of Isaiah’s prophecies as to Sennacherib’s overthrow.
Isa 33:1, Isa 33:8, Isa 33:9, describe the Assyrian spoiler; strong as he is, he shall fall before Jehovah who is stronger (Isa 33:2-6, Isa 33:10-12). The time is the autumn of 713 b.c.
and thou - that is, though thou wast not spoiled - though thou wast not dealt treacherously with (see on Isa 24:16), thy spoiling and treachery are therefore without excuse, being unprovoked.
cease - When God has let thee do thy worst, in execution of His plans, thine own turn shall come (compare Isa 10:12; Isa 14:2; Hab 2:8; Rev 13:10).
