Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

Isaiah 9:5

With confused noise; with the triumphant exclamations of the conqueror, and the bitter lamentations of the conquered, and the differing cries of the same persons, sometimes conquering, and sometimes conquered. And garments rolled in blood; with great difficulty and slaughter. But this shall be with burning and fuel of fire; but this victory which God's people shall have over all their enemies, shall be more easy to them, and more terrible to their adversaries, whom God will suddenly and utterly consume, as it were by fire.
