Isaiah 24:1-3

Some of the old copies read the word earth, land, and confine the sorrows to the house of Judah. But it should seem from what follows in the after-parts of the chapter, where the same subject is spoken of as the whole world languishing, to be more general, yea, universal. And when we consider that, by the sin of one, judgment came upon all men to condemnation, there can be no reason for limiting the consumption of human nature, and the sorrows of mankind to the house of Judah. Reader, do not fail to observe, that in the waste here spoken of, the disease is epidemic, and spares neither age, sex, nor situation. Here, the servant is as his master. Romans 5:16; Job 3:19.
