Isaiah 24:22

after many days shall they be visited See Judges 6, "reserved in everlasting chains, under darkness, unto the judgment of the great day" (cf. 2 Peter 2:4); and the following passages from the book of Enoch (ch. 18:14, 16). "This … place … serves as a prison for the stars of heaven and the host of heaven … And he was wroth with them and bound them unto the time when their guilt should be complete in the year of the secret." (See also Enoch Isaiah 21:6.) It is true that the verb "visited" may bear a favourable sense, and many commentators prefer that sense here. But this is opposed both to the tenor of the passage and the analogy of eschatological representations.
