Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 24:6

_ _ earth — the land.

_ _ burned — namely, with the consuming wrath of heaven: either internally, as in Job 30:30 [Rosenmuller]; or externally, the prophet has before his eyes the people being consumed with the withering dryness of their doomed land (so Joel 1:10, Joel 1:12), [Maurer].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 24:1-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 24:6

The curse — The curse of God threatened to transgressors. Burned — Are consumed by the wrath of God, which is commonly compared to fire.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 24:6

Therefore hath the (d) curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell in it are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are (e) burned, and few men left.

(d) Written in the law, as in (Leviticus 26:14; Deuteronomy 28:16) thus the prophets used to apply particularly the menaces and promises which are general in the law.

(e) With heat and drought, or else that they were consumed with the fire of God's wrath.
