Isaiah 47:9

OLD TESTAMENTNEW TESTAMENT

But these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon you in their fullness for the multitude of your sorceries, and for the great abundance of your enchantments.

Verse 8 Read Chapter 47 Verse 10

Ephrem The Syrian

AD 373

“Two plagues shall come to you in one day,” because you were deceived by the art of the Chaldeans and ignored your doom. “The loss of children and widowhood shall come on you,” that is, sterility. The loss of children indicates the destruction of the city; the widowhood, the privation of the kingdom. - "Commentary on Isaiah 47.9"

Eusebius of Caesarea

AD 339

And what follows describes very clearly the arrogance of the kingdom of the Chaldeans and the foolishness of their royal people, in such a way that they ascribed to themselves immortal power and an indestructible rule. However, suddenly you will experience a loss of men and the destruction of your children—that is, men to rule among you, and children meaning those to be ruled. These things will come at once upon you and reveal you abandoned and childless. This will affect you not only through these things proclaimed but also through the extent of sorceries and incantations. - "Commentary on Isaiah 2.32"

Two. The empire and the people shall be removed at once. Enchanters; princes or magicians, who gave them evil counsel, ver. 12.
