Yeshayah 24:3

3 HaAretz shall be utterly emptied, and utterly plundered; for Hashem hath spoken this davar (word).

Yeshayah 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 ) .

Yeshayah 24:3 In-Context

1 4 Hinei, Hashem maketh Ha’Aretz empty, and maketh it waste, and ruineth her face, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
2 And it shall be, as with HaAm, so with the kohen; as with the eved, so with his adonim; as with the shifcha (maid), so with her gevirah (mistress); as with the koneh (buyer), so with the mokher (seller); as with the malveh (lender) so with the loveh (borrower); as with the nosheh (creditor), so with the one owing him.
3 HaAretz shall be utterly emptied, and utterly plundered; for Hashem hath spoken this davar (word).
4 Ha’aretz mourneth and fadeth away, the tevel (world) languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty Am HaAretz do languish.
5 Ha’aretz also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed torot, changed chok (ordinance), broken the Brit Olam.
