Isaiah 25:3

The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 25:3

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee; rather, strong peoples. God's judgments on the nations specially hostile to him would cause some among the heathen peoples to range themselves on his side.

Perhaps Persia is mainly intended (see ; , etc.; and comp. ; , etc.). The city of the terrible nations; rather, cities of terrible nations. Though the noun is singular, the verb is plural, showing that the word "city" is again used distributively.
