Isaiah 24:3 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 24:3

The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled,
&c.] Entirely emptied of its inhabitants, and wholly spoiled of its riches and substance; this is repeated, and with greater strength, to confirm what is before said, and which receives a greater confirmation by what follows: for the Lord hath spoken this word;
who is able to perform it, and who is faithful to his threatenings, as to his promises; not a word of his shall ever fail; the judgments threatened to the antichristian world are his true and faithful sayings; and the ruin of Rome is certain, because strong is the Lord that judgeth her, ( Revelation 18:8 ) .

Isaiah 24:3 In-Context

1 Look! ADONAI is stripping and destroying the land, turning it upside down and scattering its inhabitants
2 cohen and commoner, slave and master, maid and mistress, buyer and seller, lender and borrower, creditor and debtor.
3 The land will be completely stripped, completely plundered, for ADONAI has spoken this word.
4 The land fades and withers, the world wilts and withers, the exalted of the land languish.
5 The land lies defiled under its inhabitants; because they have transgressed the teachings, changed the law and broken the everlasting covenant.
