Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 24:10

_ _ city of confusion — rather, “desolation.” What Jerusalem would be; by anticipation it is called so. Horsley translates, “The city is broken down; it is a ruin.”

_ _ shut up — through fear; or rather, “choked up by ruins.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 24:1-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 24:10

The city — Jerusalem, and other cities; for the singular word may be here taken collectively. A city of confusion or disorder, breaking all the laws and orders which God had established among them. Shut up — Because the inhabitants are either dead, or gone into captivity.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 24:10

The city of (f) confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may enter.

(f) Which as it was without order so now should it be brought to desolation and confusion: and this was not only meant of Jerusalem, but of all the other wicked cities.
