Commentary on Isaiah 47:15

Theological / Devotional

Thy merchants. Babylon was “a land of traffick” and “a city of merchants” (Eze. 17:4). Mystical Babylon is also closely associated with “the merchants of the earth” (Rev. 18:11-19). Ancient Babylon’s great interest was in material things and in financial gain. The illegitimate use of material blessings ever proves a curse to those who accumulate them (see Deut. 8:10-18; Hosea 2:5-9; Luke 12:13-21; see pp. 32, 33).
