Commentary on Isaiah 34:2

Theological / Devotional

Indignation. See on ch. 26:20.

All their armies. As God’s indignation was upon the Assyrian armies that attacked Jerusalem, so also would it be upon all forces of evil that array themselves against His people. Compare Joel 3:2; Zech. 12:2–9; 14:2, 3; Rev. 16:14, 16 ; 17:14; 19:11–19.

Utterly destroyed them. Heb. charam, “to devote to destruction,” “to doom” (see on 1 Sam. 15:3).
