Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 22:17

_ _ carry ... away with ... captivity — rather, “will cast thee away with a mighty throw” [Maurer]. “Mighty,” literally, “of a man” (so Job 38:3).

_ _ surely cover — namely, with shame, where thou art rearing a monument to perpetuate thy fame [Vitringa]. “Rolling will roll thee,” that is, will continually roll thee on, as a ball to be tossed away [Maurer]. Compare Isaiah 22:18.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 22:15-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 22:17

Will carry — Will cause thee to be carried into captivity by a strong hand. Cover — This may be an allusion to the ancient custom of covering the faces of condemned persons.
