Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 33:7-9.


Isaiah 33:9

_ _ (Isaiah 24:4).

_ _ Lebanon — personified; the allusion may be to the Assyrian cutting down its choice trees (Isaiah 14:8; Isaiah 37:24).

_ _ Sharon — south of Carmel, along the Mediterranean, proverbial for fertility (Isaiah 35:2).

_ _ Bashan — afterwards called Batanea (Isaiah 2:13).

_ _ fruits — rather, understand “leaves”; they lie as desolate as in winter.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 33:1-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 33:9

Mourneth — Being desolate and neglected. Hewn — By the Assyrians. Bashan — Two places eminent for fertility, are spoiled of their fruits.
