Verse 19
Isa 51:19 These two [things] are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?
Ver. 19. These two things are come unto thee. ] As they seldom are separated; as some write of the asp, that he never wanders alone without his companion.
Who shall be sorry for thee? ] Condole and comfort thee.
Desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword, ] i.e., Desolation by famine, and destruction by the sword; or, as some will have it, desolation by famine and sword, and want of consolation. as Isa 51:18
By whom shall I comfort thee? ] By whom but by myself, when thou art at thy greatest under, and even forsaken of thy hopes. See Isaiah 51:12 .
