Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, etc.] What follows, as well as declare all that is before spoken concerning the cup of fury all nations must drink of: the Lord shall roar from on high: from, heaven, like a lion, in violent claps of thunder; or in such dreadful dispensations of his providence, as will be very amazing and terrifying: and utter his voice from his holy habitation; from heaven, as before; and though it will be terrible, yet quite consistent with his holiness and justice: he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; the temple at Jerusalem, where he had his residence; but now should be deserted by him, and feel the effects of his wrath in the destruction and desolation of it: or rather, since the address is made to the nations of the world, and not to the Jews, it may be rendered, “in” or “out of his habitation”f523; and so designs heaven, as before; and all these expressions are intended to show both the certainty and terribleness of the dispensation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread [the grapes], against all the inhabitants of the earth; or, “answer a shout”f524; give the onset for battle against the inhabitants of the earth, as the general of an army; which is accompanied with a shout, like that which is made by workmen treading in the wine press, to encourage one another to go on the more cheerfully in their work.
