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.

All Commentaries on Isaiah 47:9 Go To Isaiah 47

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.
