Isaiah 30:30 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

His glorious voice; his thunder, which is Called God's voice, and said to be full of majesty, Psalms 29:4. But then thunder is metaphorically taken for some terrible judgment, as it is in many places of Scripture. The lightning down of his arm upon the Assyrian, whom he will smite with a deadly blow in the face of the world. The phrase is taken from the gesture of a man who is about to smite another, who first lifts up his hand, and then lets it fall with great force upon him whom he designs to strike. With the indignation of his anger; with great wrath; which is signified by the heaping of so many words of the same signification together.

Isaiah 30:30

30 And the LORD shall cause his glorioush voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
