Isaiah 8:21 - Exposition

They shall pass through it . "It," which is feminine, must mean "the land." The Jews left in it shall wander about it (comp. Isaiah 7:21-25 ), seeking pasture for the remnant of their cattle. They shall fret themselves ; rather, they shall be deeply angered (Cheyne). And curse their king and their God . As the causes of their sufferings. And look upward . Not in hope, but in rage and defiance.
