This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
His eyes shall see his destruction, i.e. he shall be destroyed;
as to see death, is to die, Psa_89:48 Heb_11:5; and to see affliction, or any kind of evil, is to feel it Psa_90:15 Lam_3:1; and to see good, is to enjoy it, Job_7:7 9:25 Psa_34:12. Or this phrase may be emphatical, he shall foresee his ruin hastening towards him, and not be able to prevent or avoid it; he shall sensibly feel himself sinking and perishing; which aggravates his misery.
He shall drink; not sip or taste, but drink; which word commonly notes the abundance of the thing spoken of.
