Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 57. - For thy reproach, read, with the Revised Version, the reproach. The words point primarily to the disasters, not of Judah, but to those that fell on the cities of Syria and Philistia - the Assyrian and Chaldean invasions. (For the grouping of the two nations as enemies of Judab, see Isaiah 9:12; and for special acts of hostility, 2 Kings 15:37; 2 Kings 16:6; and 2 Chronicles 28:18, 19.)
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(57) Thy reproach of the daughters of Syria--The pronoun should be omitted, and the phrase read, "the reproach." The time referred to, when Jerusalem was too proud to make mention of Sodom, was in the days of her prosperity. Later her "wickedness was discovered," and her pride humbled by such disasters. as fell upon her, especially from the days of Ahaz onward. At that time she was hard pressed both by the Syrians and by the Philistines (2Kings 15:37; 2Chronicles 28:18-19), and impoverished herself to obtain aid from Assyria (2Kings 16:8); and such straits continued to mark her subsequent history. (See 2Kings 24:2.) In the weakness and disasters towards the close of her kingdom, Judah became an object of contempt to the surrounding nations, "despised "by Syria and Philistia alike. Another view less probably refers "thy reproach" to Judah's exultation at the fall of Syria and the Philistines before the march of the Assyrians.
