Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth,.... The inhabitants of it, and the fruits upon it, alluding to the earth being cursed for the sin of man, when it brought forth briers and thorns; this may denote the seven vials of God's wrath poured upon the earth, or the antichristian states. Some, by the curse, understand perjury or false swearing; so the Targum,
"therefore, because of perjury (or a false oath) the earth is become a desert;''
of which popes, and Popish princes, cardinals, priests, Jesuits, c. have been notoriously guilty:
and they that dwell therein are desolate: for want of houses, cities and towns being destroyed by war or through famine, for want of provisions, the earth being cursed for their sins: or the words may be rendered, "for they that dwell therein are guilty" s; of idolatry, bloodshed, perjury, thefts, sorcery, and all other abominations, Revelation 9:20:
therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned; their cities burnt with fire, and particularly the city of Rome; or their persons, their bodies burnt with burning fevers, and pestilential diseases; and their minds with envy, fury, and madness: this may be the same with the fourth vial poured upon the sun, when men will be scorched with fire and great heat, and blaspheme, Revelation 16:8. The Vulgate Latin version here renders it, "shall be mad"; through the wrath of God poured out upon them:
and few men left; but what shall be consumed by fire or sword, by famine or pestilence, or by one or other of the vials; and those that remain shall be frightened, and give glory to the God of heavens
Revelation 11:13.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Therefore hath the curse devoured - Eaten it up; a figurative expression that is common in the Scriptures, denoting that the desolation is widespread and ruinous.
Are burned - (×ר×Ö¼ chaÌruÌ). Instead of this reading, Lowth proposes to read: ×ר××Ö¼ chaÌrebuÌ âAre destroyed.â The Septuagint reads it, âTherefore the inhabitants of the land shall be poor.â The Syriac, âThe inhabitants of the land shall be slain.â But there is no authority from the manuscripts to change the text as proposed by Lowth, Nor is it necessary. The prophet does not mean that the inhabitants of the land were consumed by fire. The expression is evidently figurative. He is speaking of the effect of wrath or the curse, and that effect is often described in the Scriptures as burning, or consuming, as a fire does. The sense is, that the inhabitants of the land are brought under the withering, burning, consuming effect of that wrath; and the same effects are produced by it as are seen when a fire runs over a field or a forest. Hence, the word here used (××¨× chaÌraÌh, âto burn, to be kindledâ) is often used in connection with wrath, to denote burning or raging anger. Exodus 22:23 : âHis anger burns.â Genesis 30:2 : âAnd the anger of Jacob was kindled against Rachel; Genesis 44:18; Job 27:2-3; Job 42:7; Genesis 31:6 : âHis anger was kindled.â Psalms 37:1, Psalms 37:7-8; Proverbs 24:19 Compare Job 30:30 :
My skin is black upon me,
And my bones are burnt with heat.
The sense is, that the inhabitants of the land were wasted away under the wrath of God, so that few were left; as the trees of the forest are destroyed before a raging fire.
And few men are left - This was literally true after the invasion of the land by the Chaldeans 2 Kings 24:14-16.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Isaiah 24:6. Are burned - "Are destroyed"] For ××¨× charu, read ×ר×× charebu. See the Septuagint, Syriac, Chaldee, and Symmachus.
