Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 19. - They shall go into the holes of the rooks, etc. (see ver. 10, which is an exhortation to do what this verse declares will be done). On the abundant caves of Palestine, see note on the former passage. To shake terribly the earth; literally, to affright the earth. It is not said in what way he will affright it. The cognate Arabic verb has the meaning "to shake;" but it is not clear that the Hebrew one has ever this sense.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) And they shall go into the holes of the rocks.--The imagery of the earthquake in Uzziah's reign (see Note on Isaiah 2:10) is still present to Isaiah's thoughts. (See Revelation 6:15.)When he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.--The Hebrew verb and noun have the emphasis of a paronomasia which cannot be reproduced in English, but of which the Latin "ut terreat terram" gives some idea.
