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! The Lord will destroy the earth and leave it empty; he will ruin the surface of the land and scatter its people.

2 At that time the same thing will happen to everyone: to common people and priests, to slaves and masters, to women slaves and their women masters, to buyers and sellers, to those who borrow and those who lend, to bankers and those who owe the bank.

3 The earth will be completely empty. The wealth will all be taken, because the Lord has commanded it.

4 The earth will dry up and die; the world will grow weak and die; the great leaders in this land will become weak.

5 The people of the earth have ruined it, because they do not follow God's teachings or obey God's laws or keep their agreement with God that was to last forever.
