Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 51:20

_ _ head of all ... streets — (Lamentations 2:19; Lamentations 4:1).

_ _ wild bull — rather, “oryx” [Jerome], or gazelle [Gesenius], or wild goat [Bochart]; commonly in the East taken in a net, of a wide sweep, into which the beasts were hunted together. The streets of cities in the East often have gates, which are closed at night; a person wishing to escape would be stopped by them and caught, as a wild animal in a net.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 51:17-23.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 51:20

Fainted — They are so far from being able to comfort thee, that they themselves faint away. They lie — Dead by famine or the sword. As a bull — Those of them who are not slain are struggling for life.
