‏ Isaiah 15:7

Verse 7. "Shall perish"] abadu or abadeh. This word seems to have been lost out of the text: it is supplied by the parallel place, Jer 48:36. The Syriac expresses it by aber, praeteriit, "he hath passed;" and the Chaldee by yithbazezun, diripientur.

To the brook of the willows-"To the valley of willows"] That is, to Babylon. Hieron. and Jarchi in loc., both referring to Ps 137:2. So likewise Prideaux, Le Clerc, &c.
