Isa_14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, [and] consider thee, [saying, Is] this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Ver. 16. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee.] Shall look wishingly upon thee, as scarce believing their own eyes, for the strangeness of the thing.
Is this the man that made the earth to tremble?] The earth to quake, and men’s hearts to ache? yea, sure, this is very he.
