Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 13:8

8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them, they shall be in pain as a woman that travelleth: they shall be amazed one at another , their faces shall be as flames .

To see so populous and impregnable a City as Babylon was, so easily and unexpectedly taken.

Heb. faces of flame, either pale with Fear, or inflamed with Rage and Torment, as men in misery frequently are. Some render it the faces of Lehabim, a People descending from Mizraim, Gen, 10. 13. 1 Chron. 1. 11. i. e. black with pain, as men use to be: of which see I[illegible: 1+ letters]el 2. 6. Nah. 2. 10.

Marginal references: Heb. wonder.; Heb. every man at his neighbour.; Heb. faces of the flames.
