Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
The Lord shall roar - image from a destructive lion (Isaiah 42:13; Joel 3:16).
Upon his habitation - rather, 'His pasturage;' keeping up the image of a lion roaring against the flock the pasture. The roar was first to go forth over Judea, wherein were "the sheep of His pasture" (Psalms 100:3), and thence into pagan lands.
He shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes - (Jeremiah 48:33; Isaiah 16:9-10). The shout of joy at the vintage, which latter represents the execution of judgment (Revelation 14:18-20).
