Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 47:6

Theological / Devotional

I was wroth. On the past tense referring to the yet future captivity, see Vol. I, p. 27. God permitted Babylon to bring judgment against the sinful people of Judah (see Jer. 5:15; Hab. 1:6), but did not sanction the cruelties Babylon meted out to them. Because of her heartlessness and rapaciousness God would destroy Babylon, the destroyer (Jer. 50:10, 11; 51:25). God dealt with Assyria in a similar manner (Isa. 10:5-15).
