Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 33:14

_ _ sinners in Zion — false professors of religion among the elect people (Matthew 22:12).

_ _ hypocrites — rather, “the profane”; “the abandoned” [Horsley].

_ _ who, etc. — If Jehovah’s wrath could thus consume such a host in one night, who could abide it, if continued for ever (Mark 9:46-48)? Fire is a common image for the divine judgments (Isaiah 29:6; Isaiah 30:30).

_ _ among us — If such awful judgments have fallen on those who knew not the true God, how infinitely worse shall fall on us who, amid religious privileges and profession, sin against God, (Luke 12:47, Luke 12:48; James 4:17)?

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 33:13-24.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 33:14

The sinners — This is spoken of the Jews. The prophet having foretold the deliverance of God's people, and the destruction of their enemies, gives a lively representation of the unbelieving condition, in which the Jews were, before their deliverance came. Who — How shall we be able to endure, or avoid the wrath of that God, who is a consuming fire; who is now about to destroy us utterly by the Assyrians, and will afterwards burn us with unquenchable fire?

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

The (s) sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
