Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - He hath stretched out a line. It is the "line of desolation" mentioned in Isaiah (Isaiah 34:11; comp. Amos 7:7; 2 Kings 21:13). Such is the unsparing rigour of Jehovah's judgments.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) He hath stretched out a line.--The phrase implies (See Notes on 2Kings 21:13; Isaiah 34:11; Amos 7:7) the systematic thoroughness of the work of destruction.He made the rampart.--Even the very stones of the walls of Zion are thought of as "crying out" and wailing over their own downfall. (Comp. Habakkuk 2:11; Luke 19:40.) . . .
