Isa_31:9 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire [is] in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.

Ver. 9. And he shall pass over to his stronghold.] To Nineveh, never thinking himself safe till he come thither.

And his princes shall be afraid of the ensign.] Lifted up by God’s angels in the slaughter of their fellows.

Whose fire is in Zion.] Who keeps house there, sumpta metaphora a re oeconomica. An exact metaphore from domestic affairs. There he had his fire and his chimney, sc., in the temple, from whence also came this destruction to the enemy. {Psa_76:2-3} {See Trapp on "Psa_76:2"} {See Trapp on "Psa_76:3"}
