GOD'S DETERMINATION TO DESTROY BABYLON. (Isaiah 14:21-23)
Prepare, etc.—charge to the Medes and Persians, as if they were God's conscious instruments.
his children—Belshazzar's (Exodus 20:5).
rise—to occupy the places of their fathers.
fill . . . with cities—MAURER translates, "enemies," as the Hebrew means in I Samuel 28:16; Psalms 139:20; namely, lest they inundate the world with their armies. VITRINGA translates, "disturbers." In English Version the meaning is, "lest they fill the land with such cities" of pride as Babylon was.
