Isaiah 34:4

The representation seems somewhat confused. Bickell acutely observes that "the host of heaven" is probably a marginal gloss to "their host" later in the verse, and that the original subject of the first clause ("the hills") has been displaced by it. The first line then supplies the parallel to the last line of Isaiah 34:3:

"And the mountains shall melt with their blood

(4.) And all [the hills] shall be dissolved."

and the heavens … as a scrole Cf. ch. Isaiah 51:6; Psalms 102:26; Matthew 24:29; Revelation 6:13-14.

fall dawn … falleth off from … fallen fig R.V. fade away … fadeth from off … fading leaf.
