Isaiah 47:3 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Thy nakedness shall be uncovered; either,

1. For want of raiment to cover it; or rather,

2. By thine enemies in way of scorn and contumely, by comparing this place with Ezekiel 16:37, Ezekiel 23:29. Thy shame shall be seen upon thee for thy many and great injuries done to my people. I will take vengeance, as a man meets his enemy in the field, to contend with thee. I will not meet thee as a man, with moderation and gentleness, as those men who have not quite put off humanity use to do; but like a lion tearing thee to pieces, to which God in such case compareth himself, as Hosea 5:14, Hosea 13:7,8: compare Hosea 11:4.

Isaiah 47:3

3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.
