1He aquí que Jehová vacía la tierra y la desnuda, y trastorna su faz, y hace esparcir a sus moradores.
2Y sucederá así como al pueblo, también al sacerdote; como al siervo, así a su amo; como a la criada, a su ama; como al que compra, al que vende; como al que presta, al que toma prestado; como al que da a logro, así al que lo recibe.
3La tierra será enteramente vaciada, y completamente saqueada; porque Jehová ha pronunciado esta palabra.
4Se destruyó, cayó la tierra; enfermó, cayó el mundo; enfermaron los altos pueblos de la tierra.
5Y la tierra se contaminó bajo sus moradores; porque traspasaron las leyes, falsearon el derecho, quebrantaron el pacto sempiterno.
6Por esta causa la maldición consumió la tierra, y sus moradores fueron asolados; por esta causa fueron consumidos los habitantes de la tierra, y disminuyeron los hombres.
7Se perdió el vino, enfermó la vid, gimieron todos los que eran alegres de corazón.
8Cesó el regocijo de los panderos, se acabó el estruendo de los que se alegran, cesó la alegría del arpa.
9No beberán vino con cantar; la sidra les será amarga a los que la bebieren.
10Quebrantada está la ciudad por la vanidad; toda casa se ha cerrado, para que no entre nadie.
11Hay clamores por falta de vino en las calles; todo gozo se oscureció, se desterró la alegría de la tierra.
12La ciudad quedó desolada, y con ruina fue derribada la puerta.
13Porque así será en medio de la tierra, en medio de los pueblos, como olivo sacudido, como rebuscos después de la vendimia.
14Estos alzarán su voz, cantarán gozosos por la grandeza de Jehová; desde el mar darán voces.
15Glorificad por esto a Jehová en los valles; en las orillas del mar sea nombrado Jehová Dios de Israel.
16De lo postrero de la tierra oímos cánticos: Gloria al justo. Y yo dije: ¡Mi desdicha, mi desdicha, ay de mí! Prevaricadores han prevaricado; y han prevaricado con prevaricación de desleales.
17Terror, foso y red sobre ti, oh morador de la tierra.
18Y acontecerá que el que huyere de la voz del terror caerá en el foso; y el que saliere de en medio del foso será preso en la red; porque de lo alto se abrirán ventanas, y temblarán los cimientos de la tierra.
19Será quebrantada del todo la tierra, enteramente desmenuzada será la tierra, en gran manera será la tierra conmovida.
20Temblará la tierra como un ebrio, y será removida como una choza; y se agravará sobre ella su pecado, y caerá, y nunca más se levantará.
21Acontecerá en aquel día, que Jehová castigará al ejército de los cielos en lo alto, y a los reyes de la tierra sobre la tierra.
22Y serán amontonados como se amontona a los encarcelados en mazmorra, y en prisión quedarán encerrados, y serán castigados después de muchos días.
23La luna se avergonzará, y el sol se confundirá, cuando Jehová de los ejércitos reine en el monte de Sion y en Jerusalén, y delante de sus ancianos sea glorioso.

the land--Judea. Put the comma after "land," not after "people." "There shall be among the people (a remnant left), as the shaking (the after-picking) of an olive tree"; as in gathering olives, a few remain on the highest boughs (Isa 17:5-6).

in the fires--VITRINGA translates, "in the caves." Could it mean the fires of affliction (Pe1 1:7)? They were exiles at the time. The fires only loose the carnal bonds off the soul, without injuring a hair, as in the case of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. LOWTH reads, in the islands (Eze 26:18). Rather translate for "fires," "in the regions of morning light," that is, the east, in antithesis to the "isles of the sea," that is, the west [MAURER]. Wheresoever ye be scattered, east or west, still glorify the Lord (Mal 1:11).

Versículo 16

Songs to God come in together to Palestine from distant lands, as a grand chorus.
glory to the righteous--the burden of the songs (Isa 26:2, Isa 26:7). Amidst exile, the loss of their temple, and all that is dear to man, their confidence in God is unshaken. These songs recall the joy of other times and draw from Jerusalem in her present calamities, the cry, "My leanness." HORSLEY translates, "glory to the Just One"; then My leanness expresses his sense of man's corruption, which led the Jews, "the treacherous dealers" (Jer 5:11), to crucify the Just One; and his deficiency of righteousness which made him need to be clothed with the righteousness of the Just One (Psa 106:15).
treacherous dealers--the foreign nations that oppress Jerusalem, and overcome it by stratagem (so in Isa 21:2) [BARNES].

This verse explains the wretchedness spoken of in Isa 24:16. Jeremiah (Jer 48:43-44) uses the same words. They are proverbial; Isa 24:18 expressing that the inhabitants were nowhere safe; if they escaped one danger, they fell into another, and worse, on the opposite side (Amo 5:19). "Fear" is the term applied to the cords with feathers of all colors which, when fluttered in the air, scare beasts into the pitfall, or birds into the snare. HORSLEY makes the connection. Indignant at the treatment which the Just One received, the prophet threatens the guilty land with instant vengeance.

noise of . . . fear--the shout designed to rouse the game and drive it into the pitfall.

removed like a cottage--(See on Isa 1:8). Here, a hanging couch, suspended from the trees by cords, such as NIEBUHR describes the Arab keepers of lands as having, to enable them to keep watch, and at the same time to be secure from wild beasts. Translate, "Shall wave to and fro like a hammock" swung about by the wind.
heavy upon it--like an overwhelming burden.
not rise again--not meaning, that it never would rise (Isa 24:23), but in those convulsions it would not rise, it would surely fall.

host of . . . high ones--the heavenly host, that is, either the visible host of heaven (the present economy of nature, affected by the sun, moon, and stars, the objects of idolatry, being abolished, Isa 65:17; Isa 60:19, simultaneously with the corrupt polity of men); or rather, "the invisible rulers of the darkness of this world," as the antithesis to "kings of the earth" shows. Angels, moreover, preside, as it were, over kingdoms of the world (Dan 10:13, Dan 10:20-21).

in the pit--rather, "for the pit" [HORSLEY]. "In the dungeon" [MAURER]. Image from captives thrust together into a dungeon.
prison--that is, as in a prison. This sheds light on the disputed passage, Pe1 3:19, where also the prison is figurative: The "shutting up" of the Jews in Jerusalem under Nebuchadnezzar, and again under Titus, was to be followed by a visitation of mercy "after many days"--seventy years in the case of the former--the time is not yet elapsed in the case of the latter. HORSLEY takes "visited" in a bad sense, namely, in wrath, as in Isa 26:14; compare Isa 29:6; the punishment being the heavier in the fact of the delay. Probably a double visitation is intended, deliverance to the elect, wrath to hardened unbelievers; as Isa 24:23 plainly contemplates judgments on proud sinners, symbolized by the "sun" and "moon."
