On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Let each take his portion from it; let sinners read it and tremble; let saints read it and triumph. The wrath of God is here revealed from heaven against him enemies, his favour and mercy are here assured to his faithful loyal subjects, and his almighty power in both, making his wrath very terrible and his favour very desirable.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

In the height of their pride and power, they shall be clean cut off. The same Hebrew stands for "likewise" and "yet thus." So many as they are, so many shall they perish. when he shall pass through--or, "and he shall pass away," namely, "the wicked counsellor" (Na 1:11), Sennacherib. The change of number to the singular distinguishes him from his host.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

will I break his yoke--the Assyrian's yoke, namely, the tribute imposed by Sennacherib on Hezekiah (2Ki 18:14). from off thee--O Judah (Isa 10:27).
