‏ Isaiah 13:11

Verse 11. I will punish the world-"I will visit the world"] That is, the Babylonish empire; as ηοικουμενη, for the Roman empire, or for Judea, Lu 2:1; Ac 11:28. So the universus orbis Romanus, for the Roman empire; Salvian. lib. v. Minos calls Crete his world: "Creten, quae meus est orbis," Ovid. Metamorph. viii. 9.
