Isaiah 5:30 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Like the roaring of the sea; which is violent and frightful. Darkness and sorrow; darkness, to wit, sorrow: the latter word explains the former, and the particle and is put expositively, as it is frequently. The light is darkened in the heavens thereof; when they look up to the heavens, as men in distress usually do, they see no light there; their comforts are wholly eclipsed, and their hopes are like the giving up of the ghost.

Isaiah 5:30

30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow,h and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
