Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - Shall flee from thee. As an object of disgust, or fearing to be involved in thy ruin (Revelation 18:10, 15). Who will bemoan her? No one will pity her for her well deserved chastisement (Jeremiah 15:5). Whence shall I seek, etc.? Truly, nowhere in all the world (comp. Isaiah 51:19).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) Shall flee from thee.--As in the case of the destruction of Korah, men flee from the stricken city lest they share her punishment. Nor is she an object of compassion whose cruelties have been as extensive as her empire. Hers is the fate of the fallen tyrant--left to__________"vainly groan.With pangs unfelt before, unpitied and alone."
