This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_13:8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces [shall be as] flames.
Ver. 8. And they shall be afraid.]
“ Conturbabuntur -
Innumerabilibus sollicitudinibus. ”
They shall be amazed one at another.] Amused, amazed, amated, as being at their wits’ ends.
Their faces shall be as flames.] So Jer_30:5-6, a voice of fear and trembling, every man with his hands on his loins, the posture of a travailling woman, and all faces turned into paleness. The prophet here alludeth, saith Musculus, to the face of a smith at dark night, when he standeth blowing his fire, for his face appears as if it had no blood in it, most wan and pale. Or, as others think, to a man frightened, who first looketh pale, the blood running to the heart to relieve it, afterwards, upon the return of the blood to the outward parts, he looketh red, and of a flame colour.
