Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 22:17

17 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity , and will surely cover thee .

Will cause thee to be carried into Captivity by a strong Hand, or by the Hand of a mighty man, from which therefore thou shalt not be able to escape. Or, will cast thee away with the casting of a mighty man, i. e. with great force: or, in casting will cast thee away, O thou mighty man.

To wit, with confusion, as is here implied, and as this Phrase is more fully expressed, Psal. 89. 40. & 109. 29. Or, covering may be put for obscuring his Glory, which he designed to publish, and to that end erected stately Monuments, &c. Or, this may be an Allusion to the ancient Custom of covering the Faces of Condemned Persons; of which see Esth. 7. 8. Compare Iob 9. 24. Ezek. 12. 6, 12.

Marginal references: Or, the LORD who covered thee with an excellent covering, and clothed thee gorgeously, shall surely, &c.; Heb. the captivity of a man.
