Isaiah 10:14 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Hath found as a nest; as one findeth young birds in a nest, the nest being put for the birds in it, as Deuteronomy 32:11. No less easily do I both find and take them. Eggs that are left; which the dam hath left in her nest. This is more easy than the former; for the young birds might possibly make some faint resistance, or flutter away; but the eggs could do neither. All the earth; all the riches of the earth or world. An hyperbole not unusual in the mouths of such persons, upon such occasions. That moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped; as birds do, which, when they see and cannot hinder the robbing of their nests, express their grief and anger by hovering about them, and by mournful cries.

Isaiah 10:14

14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
