Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
A city "The city" - Nineveh, Babylon, Ar, Moab, or any other strong fortress possessed by the enemies of the people of God.
For the first meir , of a city, the Syriac and Vulgate read hair , the city; the Septuagint and Chaldee read arim , cities, in the plural, transposing the letters. After the second meir , a MS. adds lagol , for a heap.
A palace of strangers "The palace of the proud ones" - For zarim , strangers, MS. Bodl. and another read zedim , the proud: so likewise the Septuagint; for they render it here, and in Isaiah 25:5, as they do in some other places: see Deuteronomy 18:20, Deuteronomy 18:22. Another MS. reads tsarim , adversaries; which also makes a good sense. But zarim , strangers, and zedim , the proud, are often confounded by the great similitude of the letters daleth and resh . See Malachi 3:15; Malachi 4:1; Psalms 19:14, in the Septuagint; and Psalms 54:5, where the Chaldee reads zedim , compared with Psalms 86:16.
