Isaiah33:5

5. The LORD is exalted , for he dwellleth on high , he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness .

Will get great Glory by the marvellous Destruction of so proud and potent an Army; and by the Defence of his People.

For he is, and will appear to be Superior to his Enemies, both in Place and Power. He dwelleth in the Heaven, whence He can easily, and irresistably pour down Judgments upon his Enemies. Although these words may be, and by some are joyned with those that follow thus, For he that dwelleth on high hath filled, &c.

He will fill Ierusalem.

Either 1. with a glorious Instance of his just Judgment against the Assyrians. Or 2. with the Execution of Justice by good Hezekiah, as before it was filled with impiety and injustice under Ahaz. The City shall not onely be delivered from that wicked Enemy, but shall also be established and blessed with true Religion and Righteousness; which was a great addition to that Mercy.
