Contextual Overview

1 See, the Lord will lay the earth waste. He will destroy it, turn its ground up-side-down, and send its people everywhere. 2 What happens to the people will happen to the religious leader. What happens to the man servant will happen to his owner. The woman servant will be like her owner. The buyer will be like the seller. The giver will be like the receiver. The one who lets another use his money will be like the one who uses it. 3 All the earth will be laid waste and destroyed, for the Lord has said this. 4 The earth cries in sorrow and wastes away. The world becomes weak with sorrow and wastes away, together with the honored people of the earth. 5 The earth has been made unclean by its people. They have sinned and not obeyed the laws, and have broken the agreement that was to be forever. 6 So the earth is cursed and those who live in it suffer for their guilt. So the people of the earth are burned, and few men are left. 7 The new wine dries up and the vine wastes away. All the glad in heart are in sorrow. 8 The happiness of the music-makers stops. The noise of those filled with joy stops. The happiness of the harp stops. 9 They do not drink wine with singing. Strong drink tastes bad to those who drink it. 10 The city of trouble is broken down. Every house is shut up so no one may go in.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled,.... Entirely emptied of its inhabitants, and wholly spoiled of its riches and substance; this is repeated, and with greater strength, to confirm what is before said, and which receives a greater confirmation by what follows:

for the Lord hath spoken this word; who is able to perform it, and who is faithful to his threatenings, as to his promises; not a word of his shall ever fail; the judgments threatened to the antichristian world are his true and faithful sayings; and the ruin of Rome is certain, because strong is the Lord that judgeth her, Revelation 18:8.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The land - Hebrew, ‘The earth,’ as in Isaiah 24:1. It is here rendered correctly ‘the land,’ as it should have been there - meaning the land of Canaan.

And spoiled - Its valuable possessions shall become the prey of the invading foe. This is an emphatic repetition of the declaration in Isaiah 24:1, to show the absolute certainty of that which was threatened.
