Isa 1:9 | Clarke | e4.org | Verse 9. The Lord of hosts -"JEHOVAH God of hosts"] As this title of God, Yehovah tsebaoth , "JEHOVAH of hosts, occurs here for the first time, I think it proper to note, that I translate it always, as in this place, "JEHOVAH God of hosts;" taking it as an elliptical expression for Yehovah Elohey tsebaoth . This title imports that JEHOVAH is the God or Lord of hosts or armies; as he is the Creator and Supreme Governor of all beings in heaven and earth, and disposeth and ruleth them all in their several orders and stations; the almighty, universal Lord. We should have been as Sodom ] As completely and finally ruined as that and the cities of the plain were, no vestige of which remains at this day.
