Thy men shall fall by the sword,.... Of the Romans; which would be a punishment to the women for their pride and luxury, being deprived thereby of their husbands:

and thy mighty in the war; of Vespasian and Titus, and which the Jews i call פולמוס של אספסינוס, "the war of Vespasian": in which great multitudes of men, even of mighty men, were slain.

i Misn. Sabbat, c. 6. sect. 3.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Thy men - This is an address to Jerusalem itself, by a change not uncommon in the writings of Isaiah. In the calamities coming on them, their strong men should be overcome, and fall in battle.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Isaiah 3:25. Thy mighty men. — For גבורתך geburathech an ancient MS. has גבורך gibborech. The true reading, from the Septuagint, Vulgate, Syriac, and Chaldee, seems to be גבוריך gibborayich.
