Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 25:11

_ _ heJehovah shall spread His hands to strike the foe on this side and on that, with as little effort as a swimmer spreads forth his arms to cleave a passage through the water [Calvin]. (Zechariah 5:3). Lowth takes “he” as Moab, who, in danger of sinking, shall strain every nerve to save himself; but Jehovah (and “he”) shall cause him to sink (“bring down the pride” of Moab, Isaiah 16:6).

_ _ with the spoils of ... hands — literally, “the craftily acquired spoils” of his (Moab’s) hands [Barnes]. Moab’s pride, as well as the sudden gripe of his hands (namely, whereby he tries to save himself from drowning) [Lowth]. “Together with the joints of his hands,” that is, though Moab struggle against Jehovah hand and foot [Maurer].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 25:9-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 25:11

He — The Lord, whose power they shall be no more able to resist, than the waters can resist a man that swims. Spread — To smite and destroy them. The spoils — With all their wealth which they have gained by rapine, and spoiling of God's people.
