Isaiah22:18

18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country : there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lords house .

Heb. Wrapping he will wrap thee up like a ball, which consists of Materials wrapped and bound together, that it may be tossed far away. Or, Rolling he will roll thee with the rolling of a ball.

Like a Ball which is cast into a large and plain Spot of Ground, where being thrown by a strong man, it runs far and wide. Or, to a far Countrey, which seems to be here called large of spaces, not so much in it self, for that was inconsiderable to him, whether the Land of his Captivity was large or little, as in respect of its distance from the Place of his Birth and Abode.

The sence of the Words thus rendred, seems to be this, Thy glorious Chariots wherein thou didst ride in great State at Ierusalem, shall then and there be turned into shame to thy self, and to thy Master, to whom it is just matter of reproach, that he was so foolish as to advance and trust such a faithless and unworthy Person. But the Words are by divers others fitly rendred, there the chariots of thy glory shall be, (or, shall die or vanish, i. e. That shall be the end of all thy pompous Chariots, and other Monuments of thy Pride) O thou who art the shame of thy lords house, who by thy unjust and wicked Practices hast exposed thy King and Master, and the Royal Family, to Reproach and Contempt.

Marginal references: Heb. large of spaces.
