spirit of the Lord—rather, "wind of Jehovah" (Psalms 103:16). The withering east wind of those countries sent by Jehovah (Jonah 4:8).
the people—rather, "this people" [LOWTH], which may refer to the Babylonians [ROSENMULLER]; but better, mankind in general, as in Isaiah 42:5, so Isaiah 40:6, "all flesh"; this whole race, that is, man.
