This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_13:19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
Ver. 19. And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms.] Those four great monarchies of the world had their times and their turns, their rise and their ruin.

Shall be as when God overthrew Sodom.] The destruction whereof was the greatest and most stupendous that ever we read of.
