Contextual Overview

1 Lo! Yahweh emptying the earth and laying it waste, - And he will overturn the face thereof, And scatter them who dwell therein. 2 And it shall be - As the people, so, the priest, As the servant, so his lord, As the maid, so, her mistress, - As the buyer, so, the seller, As the lender, so, the borrower, As the debtor, so! his creditor. 3 Emptied - emptied - shall be the earth yea pillaged - pillaged, - For, Yahweh, hath spoken this word. 4 Mourneth, fadeth, the earth Languisheth, fadeth, the world, - Languished have the lofty of the people of the earth. 5 Yea the earth itself is profaned under them who dwell therein, - For they have Set aside laws, Gone beyond statute, Broken an age-abiding covenant. 6 For this cause, a curse, hath devoured the earth, And punished are the dwellers therein, - For this cause, are burned the inhabitants of the earth, And the men left remaining - are few. 7 Mourneth the new wine. Withereth the vine, - Sighing are all the merryhearted: 8 Ceased hath the mirth of timbrels, Ended is the noise of the uproarious, - Ceased hath the mirth of the lyre: 9 With a song, they drink not wine, - Bitter is strong drink, to them who drink it: 10 Broken down is the city of desolation, - Shut up every house that it cannot be entered.

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.
