Isaiah 24:14

“They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing, &c.] That is, as the Septuagint version adds, “they that are left upon the earth;” these shall lift up their voice, in singing the praises of God, for his judgments on Babylon, and avenging the blood of his saints; and for their deliverance and salvation, and the inestimable blessings they are now put into the possession of; these are they, who, having gotten the victory over the beast and his image, sing the song of Moses and the Lamb, (<661502>Revelation 15:2,3 19:1,2): for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea: so the Hebrew accents distinguish these clauses; and the sense is, that from the west, as Kimchi and Ben…”

“They--those who are left: the remnant. sing for the majesty of the Lord--sing a thanksgiving for the goodness of the Lord, who has so mercifully preserved them. from the sea--from the distant lands beyond the sea, whither they have escaped.”

“They shall lift up their voice - They who are left in the land; or who are not carried away to Babylon. ‘To lift up the voice’ in the Scriptures may denote either grief or joy; compare Genesis 21:6; 1 Samuel 24:16; Judges 2:4; Ruth 1:9, ..., where to lift up the voice is conected with weeping; and Ezekiel 21:22; Psalms 93:3; Isaiah 40:29; Isaiah 42:11, etc., where it is connected with exultation and joy. The latter is evidently the idea here, that the few who would escape from captivity by fleeing to neighboring countries, would lift up their voice with exultation that they had escaped. They shall sing for the majesty of the Lord - They shall sing on account of the glory, or goodness of…”

“They - The remnant shall sing for the glorious power and goodness of God, manifested in their deliverance. The sea - From the isles of the sea; from those parts beyond the sea into which, they were carried captive. Isaiah 24:15”

“24:14-16 In spite of wailing and ruin, the sound of praise is heard from all directions. Even while still experiencing the pain of the devastation of the old world, the godly will respond with joyous expectation for the new world.”

“Isa 12:1-6, Isa 25:1, Isa 26:1, Isa 27:2, Isa 35:2, Isa 35:10, Isa 40:9, Isa 42:10-12, Isa 44:23, Isa 51:11; Isa 52:7-9, Isa 54:1; Jer 30:19, Jer 31:12, Jer 33:11; Zep 3:14-20; Zac 2:10 Isaiah 24:15”

“There is now a church there refined by the judgment, and rejoicing in its apostolic calling to the whole world. "They will lift up their voice, and exult; for the majesty of Jehovah they shout from the sea: therefore praise ye Jehovah in the lands of the sun, in the islands of the sea the name of Jehovah the God of Israel." The ground and subject of the rejoicing is "the majesty of Jehovah," i.e., the fact that Jehovah had shown Himself so majestic in judgment and mercy ( Isa 12:5-6), and was now so manifest in His glory ( Isa 2:11, Isa 2:17).
