Commentary on Isaiah 13:8

Theological / Devotional

A woman that travaileth. This figure of speech appears often as a description of extreme pain and anguish (see Ps. 48:6; Jer. 4:31 ; 6:24; 13:21; 49:24; 50:43).

As flames. As men look at one another in utter horror, eyes glazed with terror, fear flashes forth with the intensity of a flame.
