This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_14:31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, [art] dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none [shall be] alone in his appointed times.
Ver. 31. Howl, O gate.] Philistines are elsewhere taxed for flashy and foolish mirth {Jdg_16:23-30 2Sa_1:20-21} Here they are told they have more cause to fear than flear, to sigh than sing, to howl than hollo.
“ Quis globus, O cives, caligiue, volvitur atra?
Hostis adest. ” - Virg.
From the north a smoke,] i.e., Hezekiah’s army raising a dust, and setting all in a combustion.
