Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 15. - For their ruins shall be multiplied, read, with the Revised Version, that their stumblings; and for wrapped up, pointed, or sharpened.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) The point.--The Hebrew word occurs only here. The marginal rendering comes nearer its sense, but the exact meaning is the glance or the whirl of the sword. The glancing or the whirling motion of the sword was to be everywhere, "against all their gates."Their ruins be multiplied.--Literally, their stumbling blocks be multiplied. The thought is that in the coming desolation trouble shall be on every side and, in their perplexity, occasions for ill-advised action shall arise all around. "Bright" means "glittering." (Comp. Deuteronomy 32:41; Job 20:25; Nahum 3:3.)It is wrapped.--The margin has sharpened, but the exact sense is drawn, "drawn out for the slaughter."
