Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 23. - When God doeth this. Literally, "from the settling of it by God." מִשֻּׂמו אֵל, i.e., when God shall bring these terrible things to pass. Septuagint, ὅταν θῇ ταῦτα ὁ θεός. This exclamation refers to the woe which he is about to pronounce, which involved his own people also.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(23) When God doeth this.--These words may be rendered, since (or, from the time that) God sets (or, determines) it (or, this)--quando faciet ista Deus (Vulgate); or, because God determines it (or, this).
