Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 13:9

_ _ cruel — not strictly, but unsparingly just; opposed to mercy. Also answering to the cruelty (in the strict sense) of Babylon towards others (Isaiah 14:17) now about to be visited on itself.

_ _ the land — “the earth” [Horsley]. The language of Isaiah 13:9-13 can only primarily and partially apply to Babylon; fully and exhaustively, the judgments to come, hereafter, on the whole earth. Compare Isaiah 13:10 with Matthew 24:29; Revelation 8:12. The sins of Babylon, arrogancy (Isaiah 13:11; Isaiah 14:11; Isaiah 47:7, Isaiah 47:8), cruelty, false worship (Jeremiah 50:38), persecution of the people of God (Isaiah 47:6), are peculiarly characteristic of the Antichristian world of the latter days (Daniel 11:32-37; Revelation 17:3, Revelation 17:6; Revelation 18:6, Revelation 18:7, Revelation 18:9-14, Revelation 18:24).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 13:6-18.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 13:9

Behold — Divers words are heaped together, to signify the extremity of his anger.
