Isaiah 34:10

“It shall not be quenched night nor day, &c.] It will be long burning, and shall not be extinguished until it is utterly consumed. The burning of Rome will continue long, especially the smoke of it; the kings of the earth, and others, are represented as standing and looking at it, and lamenting for it, (<661809>Revelation 18:9,18): the smoke thereof shall go up for ever; this very phrase is what will be used by the saints in their “allelujahs”, at the burning of Rome, (<661903>Revelation 19:3) with which compare (<661411>Revelation 14:11): from generation to generation it shall lie waste; the land shall be no more manured and cultivated, nor the city rebuilt; when Babylon is once fallen, it…”

“It--The burning pitch, &c. (Isa 34:9). smoke . . . for ever-- (Rev 14:11; Rev 18:18; Rev 19:3). generation to generation-- (Mal 1:4). none . . . pass through--Edom's original offense was: they would not let Israel pass through their land in peace to Canaan: God recompenses them in kind, no traveller shall pass through Edom. VOLNEY, the infidel, was forced to confirm the truth of this prophecy: "From the reports of the Arabs, southeast of the Dead Sea, within three days' journey are upwards of thirty ruined towns, absolutely deserted."”

“It shall not be quenched night nor day - That is, the burning brimstone and pitch Isaiah 34:9, the emblem of perpetual and entire desolation, shall not be extinguished. The smoke thereof shall go up for ever - Every river and rivulet is Supposed to be heated pitch, and every particle of dust sulphur, and a 1 on fire, sending up from an extended region dense columns of smoke to heaven. No idea of ruin could be more sublime; no idea of the vengeance of God more terrible. This image has been copied by John to describe the future woes of the wicked Revelation 14:11, and of mystical Babylon Revelation 18:9, Revelation 18:18; Revelation 19:2-3. From generation to generation it shall lie waste -…”

“For ever - It shall remain as a spectacle of God's vengeance to all succeeding ages. Isaiah 34:11”
