Isaiah 25:12 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 25:12

And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he
bring down
That is, their high and, fenced walls, which were about their cities, the fortifications of them; these should be destroyed by the Lord, be battered and brought down, not being able to stand against his mighty power. The Targum renders it,

``the mighty city, the cities of the nations;''

and may design the city of Rome, and the cities of the nations that shall fall at the pouring out of the seventh and last vial, ( Revelation 16:19 ) it follows, lay low, [and] bring to the ground, [even] to the dust;
which variety of words without any copulative are used to express the sudden, quick, certain, and irrecoverable destruction of such fortified city, or cities, and their fortifications.

Isaiah 25:12 In-Context

10 The Lord will protect Mount Zion, but the people of Moab will be trampled down the way straw is trampled in manure.

11 They will reach out their hands as if they were trying to swim, but God will humiliate them, and their hands will sink helplessly.
