G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 13:1-22

We now commence the second circle of the first division of our book, in which are contained Isaiah's prophecies concerning the nations and the world. The first describes the doom of Babylon. Whereas the word "Babylon" occurs here, there is no doubt Assyria is in view. The prophecy concerning Babylon comes later (21:1-10). This is clearly shown by Dr. Thirtle in his Old Testament Problems. In graphic language the prophet foretells the nearness of judgment. He describes the mustering of the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 13:17-22

A Vivid Picture of Babylon’s Future And Its End (Isaiah 13:17-22 ). Having depicted the destruction of Babylon in apocalyptic terms Isaiah brings it down to earth. He partly does it in terms of the Medes. The Medes participated in a number of invasions of Babylon from Sargon II onwards and were very much feared. They founded their own empire and up to around the time of Cyrus II (whose father was Persian and whose mother was Medan) were the senior partners of the Medo-Persian alliance. While... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 13:1-22

Isaiah 13:1 to Isaiah 14:23 . The Utter Ruin of Babylon and Triumphal Ode over her Monarch’ s Death.— Historical conditions are here presupposed entirely different from those of Isaiah’ s time. The subject of Isaiah 13 is the overthrow of Babylon by the Medes a century and a half after his age. Since the downfall is said to lie in the near future, the prophecy must have been written very near the close of the Exile. The description of Babylon is also not true to the situation of Isaiah’ s... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 13:21

Wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; the land being forsaken by men, shall be possessed by wild beasts, which love solitary places. What the Hebrew words used here, and in the next verse, signify, the learned may see in my Latin Synopsis; and for others, it may suffice to know that in which all the learned agree, that these are frightful and solitary creatures; of which if I should particularly discourse, I should rather perplex than edify the vulgar reader. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 13:1-22

Chapter 13Now as we move into chapter 13 and he speaks of the burden of Babylon which Isaiah saw, you remember that we mentioned when we started the prophecy of Isaiah that in many of the prophecies, there was what we called the near fulfillment and the far fulfillment. The prophecies were sort of like a two-edged sword in that they had an immediate connotation, but oftentimes there was also a future connotation. So in the seventh chapter when he said, "Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 13:1-22

In the thirteen chapters which follow, the prophet, like a watchman, raises his voice, and denounces woes against all the surrounding nations, and finally against his own country. Isaiah 13:1 . The burden of Babylon. The LXX merely read ode or song. Isaiah puts his name to it, being fully assured of its truth. The burden of these terrific predictions was laid upon him, he must utter them in the sublimest strains of eloquence. Isaiah 13:2 . Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain. ... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 13:19-22

Isaiah 13:19-22Babylon . . . shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and GomorrahThe re-entries of natureAll this we may say is historical and local.On the other hand, all this is moral and suggestive. This process may take place in the Babylon of the mind. The greatest mind is only safe whilst it worships. The most magnificent intellectual temple is only secure from the judgment and whirlwind of heaven in proportion as its altar is defended from the approach of every unworthy suppliant. If we... read more
