Isaiah 17:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Shall rebuke them; not in words, but deeds; shall discomfit and overthrow them. Like a rolling thing, which is easily moved by every slight touch, and much more by a violent wind. Or, like a wisp, to wit, of straw, which is sometimes rolled together.

Isaiah 17:13

13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
