Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 25:5

_ _ Translate, “As the heat in a dry land (is brought down by the shadow of a cloud, so) thou shalt bring down the tumult (the shout of triumph over their enemies) of strangers (foreigners); and as the heat by the shadow of the cloud (is brought low), so the branch (the offspring) of the terrible ones shall be brought low.” Parkhurst translates the Hebrew for “branch,” the exulting song. Jerome translates the last clause, “And as when the heat burns under a cloud, thou shalt make the branch of the terrible ones to wither”; the branch withering even under the friendly shade of a cloud typifies the wicked brought to ruin, not for want of natural means of prosperity, but by the immediate act of God.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 25:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 25:5

The noise — The tumultuous noise, as the word properly signifies; the rage and furious attempts of those Heathen nations that fought against God's people. As the heat — With as much ease as thou dost allay the heat of a dry place, by the shadow of thy clouds, or by the rain which falls from black and shadowy clouds. The branch — The arm or power, as a branch is the arm of a tree.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 25:5

Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the (f) heat in a dry place; (g) [even] the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.

(f) Meaning, that as the heat is abated by the rain, so shall God bring down the rage of the wicked.

(g) As a cloud shades from the heat of the sun, so God will assuage the rejoicing of the wicked against the godly.
