Isaiah 24:14

They shall lift up their voice Rather: These lift up their voice. The pronoun at the beginning is emphatic and stands in contrast to the "I" of Isaiah 24:16.

they shall sing, for the majesty Better (following the accents) they shout: for the majesty of Jehovah they cry aloud, &c. The last words from the sea(i.e. the Mediterranean) point to the West as the quarter whence the songs of triumph proceed. Cf. "in the coasts," Isaiah 24:15.
