Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 59:19

_ _ (Isaiah 45:6; Malachi 1:11). The result of God’s judgments (Isaiah 26:9; Isaiah 66:18-20).

_ _ like a flood — (Jeremiah 46:7, Jeremiah 46:8; Revelation 12:15).

_ _ lift up a standard — rather, from a different Hebrew root, “shall put him to flight,” “drive him away” [Maurer]. Lowth, giving a different sense to the Hebrew for “enemy” from that in Isaiah 59:18, and a forced meaning to the Hebrew for “Spirit of the Lord,” translates, “When He shall come as a river straitened in its course, which a mighty wind drives along.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 59:16-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 59:19

Fear — Worship the Lord. The west — The western part of the world. His glory — The glorious God. The rising of the sun — The eastern parts. When — At what time soever the devil, or his instruments shall make violent irruptions upon the church. A standard — God shall make known himself to take their part and defend them, by his spirit alone.
