Isaiah 21

1 The prophet, bewailing the captivity of his people, sees in
a vision the fall of Babylon by the Medes and Persians. 11 Edom, scorning the prophet, is moved to repentance.
13 The set time of Arabia's calamity.

1

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. 13:1; 17:1;

The Edomites, says Bp. Lowth, as well as Jews, were subdued by the Babylonians. They enquire of the prophet how long their subjection is to last; he intimates that the Jews should be delivered from their captivity; not so the Edomites. "The morning cometh, and also the night."
