isaiah 22:17 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.

isaiah 22:17 'Behold, the LORD is about to hurl you headlong, O man. And He is about to grasp you firmly,

17. carry . . . away with . . . captivity--rather, "will cast thee away with a mighty throw" [MAURER]. "Mighty," literally, "of a man" (so Job 38:3).
surely cover--namely, with shame, where thou art rearing a monument to perpetuate thy fame [VITRINGA]. "Rolling will roll thee," that is, will continually roll thee on, as a ball to be tossed away [MAURER]. Compare Isa 22:18.

isaiah 22:17 'Behold, the LORD is about to hurl you headlong, O man. And He is about to grasp you firmly,
