In this chapter,
I. More weight is added to the burden of Babylon, enough to sink it like a mill-stone;
- It is Israel’s cause that is to be pleaded in this quarrel with Babylon (v. 1-3).
- The king of Babylon, for the time being, shall be remarkably brought down and triumphed over (v. 4-20).
- The whole race of the Babylonians shall be cut off and extirpated (v. 21-23).
II. A confirmation of the prophecy of the destruction of Babylon, which was a thing at a distance, is here given in the prophecy of the destruction of the Assyrian army that invaded the land, which happened not long after (v. 24-27).
III. The success of Hezekiah against the Philistines is here foretold, and the advantages which his people would gain thereby (v. 28-32).
