Commentary on Isaiah 47:8

Theological / Devotional

Carelessly. Or, “unsuspectingly,” or “in [a false sense of] security.”

None else beside me. This claim belongs to God alone (Deut. 4:35, 39; Isa. 44:8; 45:5), but Babylon was soon proudly to arrogate it to herself. Nineveh had made the same boast (Zeph. 2:15).

Not sit as a widow. Compare Rev. 18:7.
