Verse 23
And I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets ,.... The plague and the sword, which are two of God's sore judgments, and often go together; the pestilence slays them that are within, and the sword those the enemy meets with in the streets:
and the wounded shall be judged ; that is, punished; or "shall fall" F23 נפלל πεσουνται , Sept.; "corruent", Pagninus, Vatablus; "cadet", Montanus; so Kimchi and Ben Melech; and which is approved of by Gussetius. , die and perish:
in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side ; this was literally fulfilled in Zidon, either by Nebuchadnezzar and the Chaldean army, which besieged it on every side; or by Artaxerxes Ochus the Persian, who took it, and destroyed it; and will have its accomplishment on the antichristian states, eastern and western, when the vials shall be poured out upon them, Revelation 16:1 ,
and they shall know that I am the Lord God ; who am able to foretell things to come, and to accomplish them.
