‏ Isaiah 24:10-12

10. city of confusion—rather, "desolation." What Jerusalem would be; by anticipation it is called so. HORSLEY translates, "The city is broken down; it is a ruin."

shut up—through fear; or rather, "choked up by ruins."

11. crying for wine—to drown their sorrows in drink (Isa 16:9); Joe 1:5, written about the same time, resembles this.

12. with destruction—rather "crash" [GESENIUS]. "With a great tumult the gate is battered down" [HORSLEY].
