‏ Isaiah 25:5

Verse 5. Of strangers-"Of the proud"] The same mistake here as in Isa 25:2: see the note there. See Clarke on Isa 25:2. Here zedim, the proud, is parallel to aritsim, the formidable: as in Ps 54:5, and Ps 86:14.

The heat with the shadow of a cloud-"As the heat by a thick cloud"] For choreb, the Syriac, Chaldee, Vulgate, and two MSS. read kechoreb, which is a repetition of the beginning of the foregoing parallel line; and the verse taken out of the parallel form, and more fully expressed, would run thus: "As a thick cloud interposing tempers the heat of the sun on the burnt soil; so shalt thou, by the interposition of thy power, bring low and abate the tumult of the proud, and the triumph of the formidable."
