This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Stretch out my hand: this noteth the greatness of the blow, God striketh hard when he stretcheth out his hand, and therefore you find a mighty hand joined with outstretched arm.
Desolate; a desolation, (a Hebraism,) for most desolate.
Yea, more desolate; and a desolation greater or above the desolation of that most horrid wilderness of Moab, which is here called
Diblah, mentioned in a dual form, Num_33:46 Jer_48:22, as some think; and described by Moses, Deu_8:15. It was that wherein the fiery serpents so much annoyed Israel. Or, I will lay their habitations waste and desolate, from Jerusalem unto Diblath, the borders of Moab, and the land all along shall be as desolate as that very wilderness. So the Lord will turn a most fruitful land into barrenness for the sins of the people.
They shall have; some instructed and bettered shall own me and fear me, the rest convinced and astonished shall confess that God hath done this great thing against them.
