Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 13:10

_ _ stars, etc. — figuratively for anarchy, distress, and revolutions of kingdoms (Isaiah 34:4; Joel 2:10; Ezekiel 32:7, Ezekiel 32:8; Amos 8:9; Revelation 6:12-14). There may be a literal fulfillment finally, shadowed forth under this imagery (Revelation 21:1).

_ _ constellationsHebrew, “a fool,” or “impious one”; applied to the constellation Orion, which was represented as an impious giant (Nimrod deified, the founder of Babylon) chained to the sky. See on Job 38:31.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 13:6-18.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 13:10

Constellations — Which consist of many stars, and therefore give a greater sight. Darkened — All things shall look darkly and dismally; men shall have no comfort or hope. Going forth — As soon as he rises. As soon as they have any appearance or hope of amendment, they shall be instantly disappointed.
