Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Of strangers "Of the proud" - The same mistake here as in Isaiah 25:2 (note): see the note there. Here zedim , the proud, is parallel to aritsim , the formidable: as in Psalms 54:5, and Psalms 86:14.
The heat with the shadow of a cloud "As the heat by a thick cloud" - For choreb , the Syriac, Chaldee, Vulgate, and two MSS. read kechoreb , which is a repetition of the beginning of the foregoing parallel line; and the verse taken out of the parallel form, and more fully expressed, would run thus: "As a thick cloud interposing tempers the heat of the sun on the burnt soil; so shalt thou, by the interposition of thy power, bring low and abate the tumult of the proud, and the triumph of the formidable."
