Jerusalem, and other cities; for the singular word may be here taken collectively. A city of confusion or disorder, breaking all the laws and orders which God had established among them.

Wesley: Isa 24:10 - -- Because the inhabitants are either dead, or gone into captivity.

Because the inhabitants are either dead, or gone into captivity.

JFB: Isa 24:10 - -- Rather, "desolation." What Jerusalem would be; by anticipation it is called so. HORSLEY translates, "The city is broken down; it is a ruin."

JFB: Isa 24:10 - -- Through fear; or rather, "choked up by ruins."

Through fear; or rather, "choked up by ruins."

10.The city of 126 vanity is broken down. I do not object to viewing this as relating especially to the desolation of Jerusalem. Yet it may be gathered from the context that it applies also to other cities; for shortly afterwards he uses the plural number in summoning the nations to appear before the same tribunal. But as the Prophet had his own countrymen chiefly in view, we may properly consider it to denote Jerusalem, which he calls “the city of vanity,” either because there was no solid virtue in it, or because it was destroyed.

The word תהו ( tōhū) may refer either to the destruction itself, or to their crimes, by which they provoked the wrath of God against them. If it be thought better to refer it to their crimes, it will denote “the city of confusion,” in which nothing is regular or properly arranged; and I approve of this interpretation. Yet it may refer to the punishment; for it declares, in my opinion, the cause of the destruction, and gives up the city to ruin, because justice and good government are banished from it.

Every house is shut up This is a proof of solitude, and the only reason why it is added is, to express the desolation of that city.

Defender: Isa 24:10 - -- Rebuilt Babylon will have been destroyed in the closing weeks of the tribulation (Revelation 18)."

Rebuilt Babylon will have been destroyed in the closing weeks of the tribulation (Revelation 18)."

The city of confusion - That Jerusalem is here intended there can be no doubt. The name ‘ city of confusion.’ is probably given to it by anticipation of what it would be; that is, as it appeared in prophetic vision to Isaiah (see the note at Isa 1:1). He gave to it a name that would describe its state when these calamities should have come upon it. The word rendered ‘ confusion’ ( תהו tôhû ) does not denote disorder or anarchy, but is a word expressive of emptiness, vanity, destitution of form, waste. It occurs Gen 1:2 : ‘ And the earth was without form.’ In Job 26:7, it is rendered ‘ the empty place;’ in 1Sa 12:21; Isa 45:18-19, ‘ in vain;’ and usually ‘ emptiness,’ ‘ vanity’ , ‘ confusion’ (see Isa 24:10; Isa 40:17; Isa 41:29). In Job 12:24; Psa 107:40, it denotes a wilderness. Here it means that the city would be desolate, empty, and depopulated.

Is broken down - Its walls and dwellings are in ruins.

Every house is shut up - That is, either because every man, fearful of danger, would fasten his doors so that enemies could not enter; or more probably, the entrance to every house would be so obstructed by ruins as to render it impossible to enter it.

Poole: Isa 24:10 - -- The city Jerusalem, and other cities; for the singular word may be here taken collectively. Of confusion or, of vanity, or emptiness, or desolation...

The city Jerusalem, and other cities; for the singular word may be here taken collectively.

Of confusion or, of vanity, or emptiness, or desolation; for this Hebrew word signifies all these things. And the city may be thus called, either,

1. In regard of the judgments of God coming upon it, as if he had said, a city devoted to desolation or destruction, to be emptied of its goods and people; or,

2. For its sin, a city of confusion or disorder, breaking all the laws and orders which God had established among them; or a city that walketh with or after vanity , as the Scripture speaks, Job 31:5 Jer 2:5 , that loveth and speaketh vanity , as they did, Psa 4:2 12:2 . And this may seem most convenient, that the sin of the city should be noted in this word, as the punishment is expressed in the next.

Every house is shut up either for fear of the enemy who have entered the city; or rather, because the inhabitants are either fled, or dead, or gone into captivity, and so there are none to go into it, or come out of it.

Haydock: Isa 24:10 - -- Vanity. Jerusalem, (Calmet) or any other city, will be all in confusion. (Haydock) --- In, as was the case in times of mourning, Jeremias ix. 21....

Vanity. Jerusalem, (Calmet) or any other city, will be all in confusion. (Haydock) ---

In, as was the case in times of mourning, Jeremias ix. 21. (Calmet)

The city of confusion is broken down,.... Or "of vanity", as the Vulgate Latin version; or of "emptiness" or "desolation"; the word is "tohu", used in Gen 1:2 this is to be understood not of Bethel, where one of Jeroboam's calves was, called Bethaven, or "the house of vanity"; nor Samaria, the chief city of the ten tribes; nor Jerusalem; but mystical Babylon, whose name signifies "confusion"; even the city of Rome, in which there is nothing but disorder and irregularity, no truth, justice, or religion; a city of vanity, full of superstition and idolatry, and devoted to ruin and desolation; and will be broke to pieces by the judgments of God, which will come upon it in one hour, Rev 18:8,

every house is shut up, that no man may come in: or, "from coming in"; not for fear of the enemy, and to keep him out; but because there are no inhabitants in them, being all destroyed by one means or another, by fire or sword, or famine or pestilence, so that there is none to go in or out.
