Isaiah 9:19 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Darkened, either with the smoke last mentioned, or with misery. Or, burnt up, as the LXX., Chaldee, and Arabic interpreters render it. No man shall spare his brother; they shall destroy one another, as they did in their civil wars, which were frequent among them. The name brother is oft largely used among the Hebrews, even of the remoter kindred, yea, of the fellow members of one city, or tribe, or nation.

Isaiah 9:19

19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuele of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
