The burden: The first ten verses of this chapter contain a prediction of the taking of Babylon by the Medes and Persians; which is here denominated "the desert of the sea," because the country around it, and especially towards the sea, was a great morass, often overflowed by the Tigris and Euphrates, and only rendered habitable by being drained by a number of canals. Isa 13:1, Isa 17:1 the desert: Isa 13:20-22, Isa 14:23; Jer 51:42 As whirlwinds: Job 37:9; Dan 11:40; Zac 9:14 from: Isa 13:4, Isa 13:5, Isa 13:17, Isa 13:18; Eze 30:11, Eze 31:12 Isaiah 21:2
