Isaiah 29:20 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

The terrible one; the proud and potent enemies of those meek and poor believers now mentioned, such as the unbelieving Jews and the heathen potentates were in the first age of Christianity. The scorner; the scornful opposers of God's word and people. That watch for iniquity; that early and diligently apply themselves to the practice of wickedness, or to do mischief to others.
