This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_47:3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet [thee as] a man.
Ver. 3. Thy nakedness shall be uncovered.] Thou shalt be stripped, and worse dealt with - the ordinary lot of women prisoners. At the sack of Magdeburg by Monsieur Tilly, ladies, gentlewomen, and others, like beasts and dogs, being naked and coupled together, were led into the woods, and there ravished. Such as resisted, the soldiers stripped naked, whipped them, cropped their ears, and so sent them home again.
I will not meet thee as a man.] But as a lion rather; thou shalt have vengeance without mixture of mercy. See 2Sa_7:24 Isa_13:6; Isa_27:7-8 Hos_5:14. Men use sometimes to deal favourably with women, but they shall not do so with thee. {a}
