Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 33:9

9. The earth mourneth and languisheth, Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down : Sharon is like a wilderness, and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits .

Being desolate and neglected.

By the Assyrians. Or, as the Word signifies, and is here rendred by others, withereth or languisheth, because its Trees are now used by the Iews for their Buildings, as they have been: And because they are spoiled and destroyed by▪ the Assyrians.

A pleasant and fruitful Place, as appears from 1 Chron. 27. 29. Cant. 2. 1. Isa. 35. 2.

Two places eminent for Fertility, and especially for good Pastures, Deut. 32. 14. 1 Sam. 25. 2. which are here Synecdochically pu[illegible: 1+ letters] for all such places

Are spoiled of their Fruits. Or, as it is rendred in the Margent, and by some others, yell or roar, as this Word is rendred, Ier. 51. 38.

Marginal references: Or, withered away.; Chap. 35. 2.; Or, yell, Jer. 51. 38.
