Sad. This was spoken after Ozias had given way to pride, when the Ammonites, began to disturb Juda, (4 Kings xv. 37., and 2 Paralipomenon xxvii. 7.) under Joathan, who was a good prince, but young. (Calmet) Enemies. At the last siege, (St. Jerome) or rather when Jerusalem was taken by the Chaldeans. (Calmet) Many, from the highest to the lowest, had prevaricated: but God always preserved his Church. (Worthington)

John Chrysostom

AD 407
It shows utter contempt when, even with retributions, [the Israelites] do not become better. But even this is a kind of benefit—to be chastised. For they would have to admit that God not only condemned and rewarded but was also forgiving sinners. And certainly he was coaxing them with rewards and also chastising them with fear of punishments. - "Commentary on Isaiah 1.3"

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
