Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 34:6

_ _ filled — glutted. The image of a sacrifice is continued.

_ _ blood ... fat — the parts especially devoted to God in a sacrifice (2 Samuel 1:22).

_ _ lambs ... goatssacrificial animals: the Idumeans, of all classes, doomed to slaughter, are meant (Zephaniah 1:7).

_ _ Bozrah — called Bostra by the Romans, etc., assigned in Jeremiah 48:24 to Moab, so that it seems to have been at one time in the dominion of Edom, and at another in that of Moab (Isaiah 63:1; Jeremiah 49:13, Jeremiah 49:20, Jeremiah 49:22); it was strictly not in Edom, but the capital of Auranitis (the Houran). Edom seems to have extended its dominion so as to include it (compare Lamentations 4:21).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 34:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 34:6

The sword — The metaphor is taken from a great glutton, who is almost insatiable. Rams — By lambs, and goats, and rams, he means people of all ranks and conditions, high and low, rich and poor. Bozrah — A chief city of Edom, and a type of those cities which should be most opposite to God's people.
