Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 28:19

_ _ From the time, etc. — rather, “As often as it comes over (that is, passes through), it shall overtake you” [Horsley]; like a flood returning from time to time, frequent hostile invasions shall assail Judah, after the deportation of the ten tribes.

_ _ vexation ... understand ... report — rather, “It shall be a terror even to hear the mere report of it” [Maurer], (1 Samuel 3:11). But G. V. Smith, “Hard treatment (Horsley, ‘dispersion’) only shall make you to understand instruction”; they scorned at the simple way in which the prophet offered it (Isaiah 28:9); therefore, they must be taught by the severe teachings of adversity.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 28:14-22.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 28:19

Pass over — It shall not only come to you, but it shall abide upon you; and when it hath passed over you, it shall return again to you, morning after morning; and shall follow you day and night, without giving you the least respite. The report — So dreadful shall the judgment be, that it shall strike you with horror, when you only hear the rumour of it.
