Wesley's Notes

13:5 Thy come - From the ends of the earth under heaven, which is not to be understood strictly. The weapons - The Medes and Persians, who were but a rod in God's hand, and the instruments of his anger. Land - Of Babylon.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

5. They-namely, "Jehovah," and the armies which are "the weapons of His indignation."

far country-Media and Persia, stretching to the far north and east.

end of heaven-the far east (Ps 19:6).

destroy-rather, "to seize" [Horsley].

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

13:1-5 The threatenings of God's word press heavily upon the wicked, and are a sore burden, too heavy for them to bear. The persons brought together to lay Babylon waste, are called God's sanctified or appointed ones; designed for this service, and made able to do it. They are called God's mighty ones, because they had their might from God, and were now to use it for him. They come from afar. God can make those a scourge and ruin to his enemies, who are farthest off, and therefore least dreaded.
