John Trapp on Isaiah 13:19-20

Ver. 19. And Babylon the glory of Kingdoms] Thoſe four great Monarchies of the world had their times and their turns, their riſe and their ruine. The Roman Empire can ſcarce ſtand on its feet of clay; and by the death of the late Emperour, no King of Romans being nominated, is like to ſuffer great concuſſions.

Shall be as when Gid overthrew Sodom] The deſtruction whereof was the greateſt and moſt ſtupendious, that ever we read of.

Hi[illegible: 1 letter] Babylonia contermini.Ver. 20. Neither ſhall the Arabian pitch tent there] The Scenites or vagrant Shepherds of Arabia deſerta, that oft flitted for better paſture, ſhall ſhun Babylon, as haunted with wild beaſts, or rather with Dragons, and Devils in the Revelation; all this is applyed to, and ſhall be verified of Rome, cap. 18.
