Isaiah 8:21

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

They shall pass through it. "It," which is feminine, must mean "the land." The Jews left in it shall wander about it (comp. Isaiah 7:21-25), seeking pasture for the remnant of their cattle. They shall fret themselves; rather, they shall be deeply angered (Cheyne).

And curse their king and their God. As the causes of their sufferings. And look upward. Not in hope, but in rage and defiance.
